Highly Recommend/ Best Team

Greg and his team are amazing. They are very communicative and walk you through the whole process. They take the time to answer your every question/ concerns. They really care about their clients. Even now that my case has been dismissed, I am confident that I can reach out at anytime. Thank you G...reg, Brenda and Lea for all your help the past months. Thanks to you I now have a fresh start.

I can't recommend Greg Shanfeld and the team at Wadhwani & Shanfeld highly enough. From the moment I contacted them, I felt held with care, clarity, and professionalism. We initially explored Chapter 13, and when my circumstances shifted, they pivoted seamlessly and walked me through a Chapter 7 wit...h patience and expertise. Bankruptcy is overwhelming and emotional, but my legal team made sure I was never alone in the process. They explained every step in plain language, kept me informed, and never made me feel ashamed even when i called asking the same question for the second time. What stood out most was their compassion and responsiveness—they treated me like a whole person, not just a case number. The legal team Brenda, Chantal, and Lidia are both kind and informative, they have the knowledge you need to feel confident that experts are handling your fragile moment in time. Thanks to them, I am preparing to have a fresh start and a deep sense of relief. If you're navigating financial hardship and need a team that knows the law and genuinely cares, this is who you want by your side.

A genuine life-saver

In early December of 2023, all of my life circumstances had compounded, and I had no choice but to file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. I was at rock-bottom and it felt like the hardest thing that I've ever had to do. The fear of it all, the immense shame, the uncertainty of how it would unfold, etc. I ...searched in the LA area for bankruptcy attorneys and sorted by Google Reviews, and decided to call the four highest-rated ones. The first three that I spoke with didn't bring me any real feelings of comfort or confidence, but moreso made me feel rushed/like another transaction. Greg was my fourth call, and within a few minutes, I knew he was the guy. He made me feel calmer, not rushed, and let me take my time - yet moved quickly when I told him I was ready to do so. He made me feel very confident in my circumstances and successfully becoming debt-free after filing. Pricing-wise, Greg was a bit more expensive than some of the others, but still in the same general ball park. But it was some of the best money I've ever spent. This is NOT the kind of legal matter you want to leave to chance to try to save, say, a few hundred dollars. Such a non-brainer to pay a bit more to give yourself the best possible chance at the right outcome. After making the decision to file Bk - which only took some moments of what felt like insane courage - the process was surprisingly efficient and somewhat easy (we filed within a week). I exported all of my online records and sent them over to Greg and we reviewed them over a 1.5 hour call while he completed the paperwork. He sent me the consolidated file to print out, sign, and scan back to him. After that, I was informed within a few weeks of my "hearing" date + time (a dial-in conference where I was accompanied by an attorney from Greg's office) and some prep from Greg prior. The hearing took about two minutes. After that, I had to wait for a decision. Greg said "I heard the hearing went well, and I expect a full discharge by mid-March." And that's exactly what happened (a little over a week ago). So all-in, from when I filed ($100k credit card debt) to end ($0 in debt), the whole process took about 3mo. Facing bankruptcy genuinely felt like pure ruin/an insurmountable and imminent doom. This new fresh start is completely life-changing, and I will never forget how Greg really saved me during my absolute darkest hours. If you live in the LA -- I made the calls/did the research -- choose Greg. *I also just realized we've only spoken by phone/via email. This whole process - including the hearing - was entirely virtual.

Comfortable and knowledgeable

Thorough, well-informed, compassionate. Greg and team were available, understanding, well-prepared. This is a busy office for sure, but they are able to see to all clients.

Beyond grateful!

When in financial dilemma and where to even begin is stressing your everyday life and you find someone that takes the time and shows you compassion, that is priceless. Your professionalism, knowledge, and commitment to my case were evident throughout, and I would not hesitate to recommend your servic...es to anyone facing similar circumstances. To say you went above and beyond would not explain how grateful I am Greg. Thank you once again for your assistance during this challenging time. Your support made a significant difference in my life, and I am truly grateful for your dedication to my case.
