We handle bankruptcies (primarily debtors in Chapter 7, 11, 13 and even 20's) for consumers and small businesses. We have also helped many clients with estate planning and asset protection. Our focus is to help people better their lives by educating and advising them of their options.
My primary areas of practice have to do with people and their properties. I enjoy helping people preserve their assets, transfer them to their loved ones, or simply get a fresh, new start. Helping a client establish a business to protect and develop their assets, or set up a living trust for a client who didn't realize how crucial it is makes my day!
I am very personable, understanding and trustworthy. I work hard for my clients in an effort to exceed their expectations. I am a solution-oriented attorney who believes that good communication goes a long way.

I fully endorse this lawyer. Ruben Arizmendi is an attorney I truly admire for his commitment to clients, to the community, to family, and his peers. He has been a generous colleague, mentor and friend for many years. Having been a certified interpreter, his bilingual knowledge is superior. He is instantly likeable, trustworthy and reassuring. Legal procedures are inherently stressful and Ruben has a unique ability to put persons at ease.
