Bankruptcy and Debt 40%

My practice is truly dedicated to homeowners. Chapter 13 is the area of law most effective in helping homeowners work out solutions to save their homes when its appropriate, without having to stand under the rock of foreclosure ready to be crushed at the last minute by a refusal by their lenders to stop a foreclose.

The Best Attorney Experience I have had. Thank You Renay!

I was looking through a lot of reviews for an attorney to help me with my Landlord issue. I found some heart felt reviews about how she helped others in my situation. So I think it is my responsibility to tell the world. She has changed my perception of lawyers: we need more attorneys like her in thi...s country. Grace walked me through my legal options, was very friendly and easy to talk to. She was reasonable on price. Arlene is great and working with the rest of the team was a great experience. I highly recommend her and her team if your in need of attorney.

Best Business Attorney I've Ever Met

I have been in business for over 20 years. With a downturn in the economy we have been struggling and on the brink of disaster. We consulted with Ms. Rodriguez about a strategy to solve the business problems we had been having. Without revealing any of our business strategy or attorney client priv...ileged information, she helped us formulate a plan that now after eight months is really working. The plan has exceeded our expectations and we are going great once again. I can't thank Attorney Rodriguez enough for her creativity, experience and patience as we struggled to learn new things and implement new processes. I would highly recommend Attorney Rodriguez for all your legal matters.

Most dedicated and honest lawyer I know (and I know many)

Highly recommend for any legal advice, but especially for bankruptcy cases. I have been battling with my bank for years to try to keep my home and have paid several lawyers only to make the situation upside down. My bankruptcy advisor (a retired lawyer) happened to find R. Grace Rodriguez, and in... just a few days, she was able to turn things right side up again. I can't thank her ENOUGH for all the work she has done on my case. While I am still awaiting a confirmation from the judge, I am just so happy that she was able to not get the case dismissed, which is what all the other lawyers said it would come down to. The day of my hearing, she passed around flyers to for a workshop that she and others were organizing to keep lawyers informed about the bankruptcy process. She is not a selfish woman who wants to keep her knowledge to herself to profit off of it; she wants to share what she knows to those who want to learn. I will always keep her in mind for any further legal advise, and will adamantly recommend her to ANYONE who is thinking about filing for bankruptcy.

Not like any other attorney you will ever meet!

I was referred to Attorney Rodriguez to handle a commercial eviction matter. She really took her time to learn about my case and the background of my problems. She helped me respond to the lawsuit. She was always quick to respond to my inquiries and she kept me informed. She helped me work out a r...easonable settlement of the case which helped me save my business. Of course this is something that the best attorneys out there would have accomplished for me. But what makes Attorney Rodriguez exceptional is that she helped me with ancillary issues involving my business to help make it stronger. She really cared about real solutions and strategic planning. Attorney Rodriguez is passionate about her work. I highly recommend Attorney Rodriguez!

A Sincere and Compassionate Attorney Who Cares

I came to attorney Rodriguez convinced that I was going to lose my house because my family could not afford the payments. She sat down with my wife and I for three hours as she worked through our income and expenses. She prepared free of charge a full budget and she showed me that not only could I ...afford my house in a Chapter 13 Bankruptcy, but that I could really afford to take care of my family and save money. . Also with good luck, we now got a loan modification which has made it even easier for us to recover from this very bad economy. I am so grateful for what she has done for me and my family. She is a really understanding lawyer and I have recommended her to my family members and friends.

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2007.

Discipline with Actual Suspension issued in CA, 2007

updated on 01/20/2016

This sanction means the attorney lost his or her license to practice law for a period of time. The attorney typically returns to practicing law when the suspension expires.

Renay’s comment:

“NOTE: I became medically ill with female issues which nearly caused my death. As a result in 2001 I was forced to abandon my law practice. I was given mitigating circumstances for which I graduated from the Lawyers Assistance Program and suspension was deferred until 2007. So even though I got sick in 2001 and things fell apart, I didn't actually get suspended until six years later.”

Public reproval with/duties issued in CA, 2002

updated on 06/21/2012

A censure or reprimand issued by the Supreme Court or the State Bar Court that is not a matter of public record unless imposed after the initiation of formal disciplinary proceedings. No period of suspension is imposed. The reproval may be imposed with duties or conditions.

Renay’s comment:

“This was all part of the same illness that resulted in the 2007 Suspension. Note that I resolved this issue with the Bar myself not realizing that more issues would come up later for all the same reasons.”
