Frequently Asked Questions
Our commitment to client communication means we provide clarity and guidance throughout the bankruptcy process. We understand the pressures our clients face and address them with empathy and professionalism. Regular updates and transparent discussions form the foundation of our client relationships, helping to alleviate the stress associated with financial restructuring.
What Are the Main Steps in Filing Chapter 11 Bankruptcy?
Initially, you'll file a petition with the bankruptcy court. This involves a detailed financial disclosure to establish eligibility. Following this, a reorganization plan is developed, which must be approved by creditors and the court. Our attorneys facilitate this process, ensuring that all statutory requirements and deadlines are met for a swift transition.
The formulation of the reorganization plan requires a deep dive into your business operations to align restructuring efforts with future growth objectives. This often involves consultation with financial advisors and negotiation with key stakeholders to ensure a feasible and agreeable path forward.
How Long Does a Chapter 11 Bankruptcy?
Normally, the process can take between several months to a few years, depending on the complexity of your financial situation and the court's schedule. In San Fernando, we'll leverage our insights into local court proceedings to streamline your case as efficiently as possible.
The duration of a Chapter 11 bankruptcy case is influenced by several factors, including the responsiveness of creditors, the complexity of the debtor's financial affairs, and the capacity of the court's calendar to accommodate hearings. Our team performs a proactive role in ensuring that any potential administrative bottlenecks are anticipated and mitigated for timely resolution.
Can Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Stop Immediate Creditor Actions?
Yes, after filing, an automatic stay is initiated that halts all creditor actions, including foreclosure and repossession. This provides you the time needed to negotiate and reorganize your debt without the pressure of imminent financial obligations.
The automatic stay acts as a temporary but powerful shield for your business, allowing management the breathing room to focus on operational improvements and strategic planning without the distraction of ongoing creditor litigation or collections.
Who Can File for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy?
While typically pursued by businesses, individuals with considerable debt and income can also file for Chapter 11. Our team at RHM LAW LLP will assess your unique situation to determine eligibility and the most suitable path forward.
Deciding to file for Chapter 11 involves evaluating various factors such as your asset liquidity, the diversity and volume of debts, and potential revenue recovery paths. Our personalized evaluation helps in making informed decisions that consider both immediate obligations and long-term business sustainability.
What Is the Cost Associated with Chapter 11 Proceedings?
The cost varies based on the complexity and duration of your case. We provide transparent pricing and guide you through any anticipated expenses, ensuring that you can plan effectively without undue stress.
Our goal is to deliver exceptional value, ensuring your restructuring process is not only cost-effective but also strategically aligned with your business's comeback goals.

I filed bankruptcy with this firm 3 years ago and found that they are professional, friendly, and compassionate. I also met with their loan modification department. Unfortunately, they were unable to help because of the type of loan that I have. I really appreciated that they did not lie, waste my time, or take my money in an attempt to modify a loan that was not doable. I've since used their firm for a couple of minor issues and found all of the attorneys to be knowledgeable and considerate. Attorneys Simon and Resnik are amazing!- Shannon J.

Dear Mr. Resnik: We wanted to thank you for your professional handling of our loan modification with GMAC mortgage. We are very happy that you were able to accomplish the modification of our loan in such a short period of time. Thank you again for your professional service.

I needed a bankruptcy attorney in Sherman Oaks and found Matt Resnik on Google. He has one of the best-reviewed bankruptcy law firms on Yelp so I decided to check it out his law firm for myself. I quickly found out that they are foreclosure specialists and they could help me with my issue. They made the process very easy for me and laid out my options for me. I cannot thank them enough for helping save my home. I would recommend them for anyone that is thinking about filing for bankruptcy or foreclosure on their home. They are the best bankruptcy law firm in Sherman Oaks.- Joseph R.

I worked with David Kritzer at this firm, and he was great. He negotiated on my behalf with a credit card company and was able to settle with them for much lower than I could have on my own thanks to his knowledge and expertise in the field. If you have a debtor on your back go to him to get it taken care of.- Kelly S.

Matt is the best bankruptcy attorney in Sherman Oaks. I consulted with Matt over a chapter 7 bankruptcy. I had issues with overwhelming credit card debt after Chase increased it's APR for no reason. It set off a chain of events that were really hurting me. He made me feel like I had options, all was not lost, and I could rebuild my credit after the 7. I had some concerns about a piece of property I was having issues with and Matt also turned out to be a real estate lawyer as well! I recommend this office to anyone who is unsure of their financial situation. It doesn't hurt to find out your options.- Max B.

I worked with Matt and his team for about a year to get through the paperwork shuffle and my personal experience was nothing short of fantastic. Legal situations have a tendency to get hairy, but Matt and his staff conducted themselves with professionalism throughout the whole ordeal. To keep it short, let's just say he under-promised and over-delivered. Rarely would I ever say this about an attorney, but overall he was just a great guy. I would not hesitate to have him on my side of the courtroom again. World market is right across the street from his office and I even decided to get his staff a thank you / holiday gift card. World market has excellent craft beer BTW, try the Einstock White Ale. They also validate parking. That just shows this isn't a fake review.- Dean C.

Was very impressed with the comprehensive professionalism of the firm, especially Matthew Resnik... I had suffered through the incompetence of two previous bk lawyers not to mention fees far greater than anticipated, without resolution. Having never gone through bk before, I did not realize how difficult it could be...then, my case was turned over to Mr. Resnik...almost immediately there was a marked positive difference. Where there was little to no communication, all of a sudden I am getting updates...regularly. Further, my case was finally discharged...yet, Mr. Resnik continues to communicate, offer assistance...and, has NEVER asked for additional fees, which I am sure he could have justified...much unlike the two previous attorneys with which I was dealing. I have no reservations, whatsoever, referring and recommending Matthew Resnik for any and all business or personal bk issues...or, other wise. I have no doubt that he will be transparent on helping you regardless of the problem. Good guy.. good firm... a wonderful experience!

Where to begin? I had a vile evil credit union repo my car over a misunderstanding, they wouldn't work with me even when I offered full payment plus repo fees (this was my first repo!) so I didn't know what to do. I met with a few lawyers but when I met with Simon he broke things down and gave me my options. I needed a car - so I filed BK and included the car to get it back. The evil credit union fought and Simon GOT ME MY CAR BACK!!! His team is amazing!!!! Maria Donna etc!!! These are top-notch pros that'll have your back. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Sincerely they saved my life. LA with no car!? ARGH!!!!!! *THANX ALL!!!!- Tim C.

Fantastic office! I want to thank Matt for taking his time with me and sincere in his assistance. He spent over an hour with me for free during our initial consult. I left knowing exactly what's needed. He not only saved my house but also got rid of all my debt. They are not your typical attorneys and their creativity really allowed me to do things that other attorneys never mentioned in previous consults. Affordable and Outstanding firm and thank you for all you have done! My family thanks you!- David K.
