Gregory Mark Shanfeld

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.

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.

It’s hard enough realizing you need to file bankruptcy but then you’re matched with finding an attorney who will actually treat you as an individual and not another number in the books! I found Greg through my Google search online. I read through the reviews and I decided to give it a go with a cons...ultation. After I filled out the form, no more than 15 minutes later, I received a call from Greg. Now, in my experience, I’m use to getting a call to schedule an appointment and that would be that. So a call from Greg personally was a great first impression. He was very thorough with the entire process up front and answered my questions. I was assured by the end of the call, I’d chosen the best attorney for me. During the process I was kept well informed by Greg. If I had any questions he was available by email and telephone but to be honest, he was so thorough in his process, I hardly had any questions! Everything was straight forward! I am extremely pleased with the services offered and even more pleased that my bankruptcy has been discharged. I’d 10/10 recommend Greg Shanfeld @ Wadhwani & Shanfeld.

In November 2021 I was looking for an attorney to file bankruptcy after losing my job. I googled attorneys within my area and thank god I found Greg. I was thinking about calling other places but I went ahead and gave Greg a call ( I saw all his reviews and noticed he had 5 stars but I wanted to make... sure my self if he was able to help me) not knowing anything about the process he was very clear and honest about how it works to file bankruptcy. After talking to him I felt relieved and sent out all the information and documents needed. I was super afraid at first but the way he works very professional and confident made me take the decision of the process. He’s and excellent attorney and I’m thankful for what he and his team did about my case. I will definitely recommend him. Thank you

I was super worried about going through the bankruptcy process, but Greg and the other staff put me at ease. They explained each step thoroughly and answered any questions I had. They all made me feel comfortable and less anxious about the whole process. They walked me through each step and made ev...erything less painful. I would definitely recommend them.
