Super Attorney

We came to Eliza at a time of need. She took us with open arms and an open mind. She makes you feel comfortable and is clear and concise with everything. Straight to the point and honest.

Amazingly Helpful!

I engaged Eliza at the time I was in the middle of a lawsuit, thinking bankruptcy may be my only option. I was not familiar with bankruptcy and what it entails or the repercussions, andEliza was extremely patient in clearly explaining that if we proceeded what the process would entail, what I could e...xpect, what I would need to prepare for, etc. She guided me with ease and calm and seamlessly worked with the lawyers of my lawsuit to have the greatest results. Her expertise and knowledge paired with her responsiveness made me greatly appreciate having her on my team. I hands down recommend Eliza as someone who is extremely knowledgeable at navigating this topic, but more importantly being an ally to her clients during a difficult time. These are not easy conversations to have and Eliza does it with confidence, grace and a level of calm that puts her client's at ease.

Top notch law firm!

Without going into the details of my case, I have to say - the services provided by this law firm is top notch. I was very fortunate that Monica was able to resolve and clear my case up. Because of Monica, I had a peace of mind going through this whole process as she was able to provide results with ...quick and clear communication throughout. She is passionate and a true professional about what she does in her line of work and it shows. Words cannot express how grateful I am. If you decide to go with the Ghanooni Law firm, I guarantee you are making the smart choice. Thank you again!

THANK YOU ELIZA!!!

Eliza Ghanooni is absolutely awesome!!! Eliza was outstanding in representing us and our business during an extremely stressful time in our lives. Not only was Eliza knowledgeable and professional, she was also reassuring by explaining each step of the bankruptcy process. Eliza always did what was ...in our best interest! We were facing very stiff opposition but Eliza didn’t backdown one bit! Eliza knows bankruptcy law inside and out. She made things as easy as possible for us. She was extremely prompt in responding to the courts. She kept us informed of all matters surrounding our case. If you are reading this review because you are looking for the right attorney, then look no further and call Eliza today! We are forever grateful to Eliza and Monica as well and plan to send them both holiday cards and well wishes for years to come! Thank you Eliza and Monica!!!

Exceptional Bankruptcy Attorney

I contacted Eliza while vetting two other top-rated bankruptcy law attorneys in Los Angeles. From the initial consultation, it was clear that Eliza was different than the others: she listened with understanding, compassion, and her demeanor was reassuring and calming during an extremely stressful tim...e. Facing a Chapter 7 and its implications is daunting, and can leave you with a sense of failure and shame, even when the circumstances are not due to irresponsibility and financial mismanagement, but from unforeseen life events and resulting hardships. While I am sure the other two lawyers I consulted with were also good, I felt a sense of arrogance, being rushed, and being talked down to from the other attorneys and staff at their firms. With Eliza, I was met respect, dignity, and understanding, and was treated as a client and an equal- not made to feel like a financial degenerate. Eliza took the time to answer all of my concerns and questions thoroughly- and I had a lot. She never rushed through them or put me on a hard stop. Eliza and her associate, Monica, worked professionally, quickly, and transparently. I was also nervous about the 341 hearing, but they put me at ease and made the process pain-free and seamless. I also continued to have various questions and concerns after filing, and they were always patient and always responded to my emails or calls literally within minutes. In the end, the debt was discharged with no issues in exactly the estimated amount of time (3 Months). Overall, Eliza and Monica made what was initially a heavy and negative situation, a surprisingly positive experience. Eliza has an above and beyond, exceptional law firm and team. They lifted an eighty thousand pound gorilla off my back, and gave me a chance to rebuild with a fresh financial start.
