Welcome
Well done! You have arrived at our website. This can be quite a challenge. We are aware that by now you have likely been inundated with calls and letters from collection companies and marketing people proposing everything from debt settlement programs to short-sale assistance in Pleasanton. Often these businesses operate outside of your geographic area while others may not even be offering legitimate services. As you have begun researching your options you may also have come across online sites that market “local lawyers”, though what they don’t tell you that they are really a referral service who sells the information you provided to a number of firms for roughly $50. Once this happens, you become the proverbial zebra in amongst a pride of lions. The circling frenzy of endless telephone calls just increases your level of stress and makes it even more difficult to know what your options truly are.  You can now breathe easy knowing that you have found a Pleasanton bankruptcy lawyer that is dependable qualified and can provide you with the highest quality representation at an honest price.

Our Philosophy
It may seem as though all bankruptcy lawyers are the same though that is definitely not the case. There are attorneys who choose to operate high-volume practices with the primary objective of signing up as many clients as possible only to spend as little time on each case as possible. These firms won’t even have enough time to send their own lawyers to represent you in court and will hire outside attorneys just to make these necessary appearances for them. This is particularly true of law firms based outside of your geographic area.  Should you sign up with a firm such as this, you often will have only minimal access to the attorney you hired and you will very likely have a tough time securing a refund.   One more issue with the lawyer referral services that you should be aware of is that they often sell the information you provided to one or more of the increasing number of inexperienced new bankruptcy lawyers who have only recently entered the bankruptcy field  and lack the first-hand experience needed to anticipate the needs of your unique case.

At the Law Offices of Stan E. Riddle we provide  our clients with  experience, professionalism and accessibility. You can be secure in the  knowledge that we will put care and understanding into the preparation of your case so that you attain your goals in the most effective manner.We ensure that you will be able to speak directly with the Stan Riddle as he and his team apply their expertise to your case.

Pricing
The Bankruptcy Legal industry, as a standard practice, offers Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 cases for a set range of fees.  Most of the firms in practice have based the rates for services on the industry standard, greatly reducing the uncertainty of what bankruptcy should cost. You will find that a standard Chapter 7 is priced from $1,000 to $2,000 plus a court filing fee of $306. Our pricing for Chapter 7’s is within the industry standard.  The final price for your unique case will depend on the intricacy of your financial situation.  We will provide you with pricing for your case as part of your free consultation. 

Warning: Be mistrustful of firms that promote rates below this range. Often this is a sign of a firm that is either struggling to get clients OR geared toward a “high volume/inaccessible” business model. We believe the greatest successes in times of trouble come from choosing your advocates well. Hire the attorney in whom you feel the most confidence. This course is better than ending up with “buyer’s remorse”, trying to save a couple of bucks.
