*Obtain your Fresh Start Today!  Call now for a free Initial Consultation.*  (949) 432-4808.

I am Southern California Attorney with a practice focused primarily on Bankruptcy Law (Chapter 7, 13, 11, litigation).  I handle a variety of cases in other areas of law as well.  I worked for one of the largest debtor bankruptcy firms in Southern California for many years after graduating law school.  I was the managing attorney of their chapter 13 department.  I have now opened my own practice, the Law Offices of Anthony B. Vigil, APC. 

I grew up in Southern California and attended California State Polytechnic University of Pomona where I earned a B.S. in Business.  I also attended University of La Verne Law School where I earned a J.D. in Law.  

I am admitted to practice law in the state of Califorina and Hawaii.  Feel free to contact me for a free initial consultation.

Review Anthony Vigil

Honest, direct, and to the point. An outstanding attorney! A+

Posted by JoshuaWed Mar 29 2017

I highly recommend attorney Anthony Vigil. He was very diligent, dependable, and honest and he made my chapter 7 bankruptcy a very smooth and painless process. He was always there to answer my questions, always kept me very informed, and he made sure that I had dotted every "I" and crossed every "t" to get the exact outcome that I was looking for. After 3 months my bankruptcy was discharged, and now I'm in the road to credit recovery! Thanks Anthony!

Best Attorney Around

Posted by JeremyWed Jan 11 2017

I had to file for bankruptcy due to medical bills and mounting debt. Admittedly, I knew very little about the bankruptcy process, what to expect, and how to move forward. I was fortunate enough to have found Anthony Vigil through ARAG, a legal service that my work provided as a benefit. Anthony is extremely professional, knowledgeable, and helped me navigate through my bankruptcy case from start to finish. He always followed up with any inquiry I had promptly and was always looking out for me. I would highly recommend Anthony to anyone looking for an experienced, efficient, and trustworthy attorney. I am going to recommend him to anyone who is looking for excellent legal representation.
