Great experience from filing to closing the case, I didn’t even fill like there was any case - Robin and Bert did all the work professionally, fast and accurate. Highly recommend them
As a Certified Specialist in Bankruptcy Law by the Board of Specialization of the State Bar of California, I am able to determine when bankruptcy protection is the best strategy and also when it is not.
My passion for helping folks keep their homes has made Chapter 13 protection a key area of my legal practice. I call this the "middle class reorganization" and found it very useful to homeowners especially.
Reorganization can save your business, but also if you are a high end homeowner it can save your home. I have successfully represented individuals and businesses in Chapter 11 cases for a number of years.
Debt settlement (credit cards, etc.) is an area where I will represent my client to the creditor/collection agency.

When I transitioned from the mortgage industry to the field of law, I began with a clear plan. My mission was to study the law so I could better assist others with their finances.Â
Today, my practice includes the full spectrum of bankruptcy law, including Chapters 7, 11 (plus Subchapter V), and 13. I am certified by the State Bar of California as a Legal Specialist in Bankruptcy Law, but I continue to seek out opportunities to learn and grow in any way that I can. I believe in the power of using a collaborative approach to help my clients reach their goals, so when necessary, I work with other attorneys in order to facilitate the best possible outcomes for my clients.
Ultimately, I aim to provide meaningful, timely solutions to individuals in need of legal advice from a fresh perspective. I especially enjoy helping others design resourceful strategies that allow them to keep their homes when they’ve fallen on hard times. Sometimes, this can be achieved through bankruptcy, and other times, it is better accomplished through an alternative approach.
I strive to provide every client with the professionalism of a large firm, and the personal attention of a small one.

Bankruptcy Process
I recently had the opportunity to work with Red Hill Law Group, specifically with Bert Briones, on my bankruptcy process. I must say that my experience was exceptional. From the very beginning, Bert and his team were professional, knowledgeable, and efficient. They guided me through every step of the process, ensuring that I understood the implications and requirements of filing for bankruptcy. Their attention to detail and expertise in bankruptcy law gave me the confidence that I was in good hands. I was impressed with their prompt communication and their ability to address any concerns or questions I had along the way. Overall, I highly recommend Red Hill Law Group and Bert Briones for anyone going through the bankruptcy process. They are a reliable and trustworthy team that will provide you with the support and guidance you need during this challenging time.

Mr. Briones makes a difficult situation more understandable if not easy
After making the very difficult decision to file bankruptcy, Mr. Briones made the entire process much more understandable. He and his highly valuable staff are organized, professional, patient, and supportive. After going through this process it would be foolish to attempt this process without counsel and one with knowledge and integrity.

So Thankful for My Amazing Bankruptcy Attorney!
Bert Briones listened very carefully to me and my needs. He asked meaningful questions that helped him accurately assess if my situation qualified for bankruptcy. He was extremely knowledgeable and offered insightful questions that helped me make my decision to go forward with confidence. He was extraordinarily patient. From the very beginning Bert helped me feel comfortable with this unfamiliar process. It sounded overwhelming at first, but through very methodical steps and an excellent system of communication---sending me timelines and deadlines of items that needed to be submitted---I was able to follow his guidance and meet all the requirements on time and with pinpoint accuracy. His thorough and attentive manner helped me feel very supported and at ease throughout the process. His staff offered superior assistance as well. I have nothing but good to say about my experience, A to Z, and would strongly recommend his services to anyone who is faced with the possibility of needing to file bankruptcy.

Excellent Service
I wish I had the option of rating a 10-star service!
Mr. Bert Briones made the bankruptcy process extremely easy.
Anyone who has ever filed for bankruptcy is aware of the complicated process, and it can be very scary, and many things associated with bankruptcy can be confusing and overwhelming, Mr. Briones made the process very simple and straight forward. He clearly explained things in terms we could understand. A bankruptcy should be handled by someone with many years of experience, and what made it easier on us was how it was all handled, well explained and the responses to any questions were very prompt.
I would wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Briones to anyone who needs help with their bankruptcy process.
Thank you both, Bert & Robin!
