future restored

I hired the Ghanooni law firm to handle my personal bankruptcy. Like most people in my situation, I had reached a point where my debt was causing me day-to-day struggles. Little or no financial future seemed to lie ahead. I could not have asked for a more professional and caring law firm to see me... through this process. I worked mostly with Monica on my case, though did also speak with Eliza a couple times. The process went smoothly and I received my discharge a few months ago. Obviously, no one really wants to go through bankruptcy. But I already know that I will look back at this as the time that I got my future back. An immediate effect I have noticed, other than just being able to survive financially and having my hope restored, is that my overall credit-worthiness (and score) is in much better shape now than before. I have certainly learned some lessons and am being very careful with expenses and debt now. More on the horizon, I am now planning to go to graduate school. I am excited by this prospect, and know that it would not likely be possible had I not sought Monica and Eliza's help when I did.

The Best "Duo" in LA

Monica and Eliza were the best lawyers to handle my Chapter 7 BK filing/case. They answered every question I had, and they guided me through the process. It can be overwhelming at times, but they were with me at every step of the BK process. I am glad I used their services, and now I can begin rebuil...ding my credit with a "fresh start." You think that LA Lakers have the best "duo" in time, I beg to differ. These two lawyers are excellent at what they do, and I truly recommend them for any BK filing that you might have in mind. I am grateful for a job well done, and for that I thank you both!!

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.

Gave me a start at a new life!

I hired Eliza purely based on what her former clients had said about her. I knew nothing else about her. But, once I talked with her- she gave me the first bit of hope that I had had in about 10 years. I was drowning in debt, but on-time with all of my bills. Paying them each month, but barely making... it to the next month and living like this for years. My stress was so bad that I starting having serious physical problems- anxiety, throwing up, hair falling out, weight gain, and much, much more. I made a good salary, but could never save anything. I was at the point where I had completely lost hope. Bankruptcy was not something that I ever wanted to do, but I had no choice by this time. My health and well-being were suffering terribly. I had to file. Finding Eliza was amazing. She was able to file Chapter 7 for me even with my higher income. I am so grateful for the second chance that I have been given to live a debt-free and financially smart life. And it is all because of Eliza's hard work. The burden that I carried for so long has been lifted and I can breathe. When other attorneys said they could not do it, she took me on, did her very best and she helped me file Chapter 7. And my debt has been discharged! Thank you, Eliza.

Wonderful lawyer from start to finish

Eliza is, hands down, the lawyer you want to hire for your bankruptcy case. She is knowledgeable, compassionate and extremely thorough handling every aspect of the Chapter 7 process. She has made this process painless and easy to understand; I recommend having a strong advocate like her during this... difficult financial time.
