About Neil

Learn Neil’s areas of practice.

I have been practicing bankrutpcy since 2001 and have helped in excess of 10,000 debtors through the process. We aim to make the bankruptcy a smooth process, with complete access to the attorney. My staff and myself answer all calls unscreened. Bankruptcy can be stressful enough without having to fill out a stack of paperwork. We do not make you fill out your own paperwork, but prepare your entire bankruptcy.

Amazing Service
Both Neil and his staff Jennifer were absolutely amazing and walked me through the whole process with this bankruptcy. I never not once felt alone nor had any unanswered questions. Bankruptcy is scary but they made the whole process easy and painless. I was recommended by a close friend and would hands down recommend anyone else in the future.

We were treated like family!
My wife and I married about 5 y we are ago and both brought financial baggage and mistakes from our past. She was a single mom with three children and I was a wreck less carefree bachelor. So needless to say when we married we had to get out financial affairs in order. We attempted for the first three years to pay off our debt as a team while establishing joint credit as a couple with no measurable success. It felt as if every two steps of progress we made we were sent back ten steps with creditors and debt from our past. We finally decided to give Neil and his team a call for the no pressure consultation. It was the best call we ever made. The decision to file bankruptcy had such a stigma affiliated with it due to our blue collar up bringing. Neil explained that sometimes good people with good intentions make bad decisions and catch bad breaks, but that didn’t mean there wasn’t a way to clean up the mess and get control of our debt and credit health. We decided to start the process with Neil representing us. To our surprise we also got the services of his amazing paralegal Jennifer. Jennifer walked us through the process of the bankruptcy that most other firms told us we would have to complete alone. Jennifer answered all of our questions and helped make the process a much less scarier process. Both Neil and Jennifer were always available to answer question whether it be by phone , text or email. They really made us feel like they were family members who had our back and wanted nothing more than to see my wife and I gain financial freedom, new knowledge of what not to do in the future when it comes to our finances. We would recommend Neil Schwartz and his team to anyone who wants to have a professional knowledgeable intelligent and family oriented law firm handle their bankruptcy.

Neil Schwartz is Amazing!
Neil went above and beyond to resolve my case. I had many complicated issues involving property and the IRS. Neil got everything resolved for me with minimal effort on my part. I highly recommend him.

Fair and Honest
We started the process with another local attorney. After a frustrating four months of back and forth and poor communication from our previous attorney, I called Neil's office in tears. They got me in to see him the very next morning. He made me laugh, explained everything in a way that I could understand. He walked us through the last steps, and even though it didn't end as we had hoped, he made the process a little less scary and manageable. We wish we would have called him sooner.

The best Bankruptcy attorney in Bakersfield
I hated to have to file bankruptcy. It seemed like it would super complicated and stressful. Neil had clients that recommended him, and I am so grateful that I went to him. He made me feel at ease through the entire process, prepared me for every step of the way. He was always available for every little question I had. Nobody wants to file bankruptcy, but I will say that if forced into this situation, there is no one I would trust more than Neil. He went above and beyond… and I am so relieved not to have this stress on my shoulders now.

Got a discharge when all other BK Lawyers said no!
Neil and his team were amazing! I called over 12 BK Attorneys in Bakersfield, CA and all said NO we would NOT qualify for BK and they did not want to take on our case. Neil said Yes! and he delivered! We received a discharge and he walked us through the steps to receive it. He was spot on with everything. Great communication from him even on weekends! Call him today!
