In early December of 2023, all of my life circumstances had compounded, and I had no choice but to file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. I was at rock-bottom and it felt like the hardest thing that I've ever had to do. The fear of it all, the immense shame, the uncertainty of how it would unfold, etc. I searched in the LA area for bankruptcy attorneys and sorted by Google Reviews, and decided to call the four highest-rated ones. The first three that I spoke with didn't bring me any real feelings of comfort or confidence, but moreso made me feel rushed/like another transaction. Greg was my fourth call, and within a few minutes, I knew he was the guy. He made me feel calmer, not rushed, and let me take my time - yet moved quickly when I told him I was ready to do so. He made me feel very confident in my circumstances and successfully becoming debt-free after filing. Pricing-wise, Greg was a bit more expensive than some of the others, but still in the same general ball park. But it was some of the best money I've ever spent. This is NOT the kind of legal matter you want to leave to chance to try to save, say, a few hundred dollars. Such a non-brainer to pay a bit more to give yourself the best possible chance at the right outcome. After making the decision to file Bk - which only took some moments of what felt like insane courage - the process was surprisingly efficient and somewhat easy (we filed within a week). I exported all of my online records and sent them over to Greg and we reviewed them over a 1.5 hour call while he completed the paperwork. He sent me the consolidated file to print out, sign, and scan back to him. After that, I was informed within a few weeks of my "hearing" date + time (a dial-in conference where I was accompanied by an attorney from Greg's office) and some prep from Greg prior. The hearing took about two minutes. After that, I had to wait for a decision. Greg said "I heard the hearing went well, and I expect a full discharge by mid-March." And that's exactly what happened (a little over a week ago). So all-in, from when I filed ($100k credit card debt) to end ($0 in debt), the whole process took about 3mo. Facing bankruptcy genuinely felt like pure ruin/an insurmountable and imminent doom. This new fresh start is completely life-changing, and I will never forget how Greg really saved me during my absolute darkest hours. If you live in the LA -- I made the calls/did the research -- choose Greg. *I also just realized we've only spoken by phone/via email. This whole process - including the hearing - was entirely virtual.

Thorough, well-informed, compassionate. Greg and team were available, understanding, well-prepared. This is a busy office for sure, but they are able to see to all clients.

When in financial dilemma and where to even begin is stressing your everyday life and you find someone that takes the time and shows you compassion, that is priceless. Your professionalism, knowledge, and commitment to my case were evident throughout, and I would not hesitate to recommend your services to anyone facing similar circumstances. To say you went above and beyond would not explain how grateful I am Greg. Thank you once again for your assistance during this challenging time. Your support made a significant difference in my life, and I am truly grateful for your dedication to my case.

If anyone understands the unpleasant pressure and predicament of such situations as these...it would be Greg Shanfeld himself! Could it be the years of his experiences and his professional staff or maybe his direct communication to answer any and all of your questions and concerns. I couldn't be more happier of his representation. On top of every subject no matter the difficulty. 100% pure satisfaction.

It’s hard enough realizing you need to file bankruptcy but then you’re matched with finding an attorney who will actually treat you as an individual and not another number in the books! I found Greg through my Google search online. I read through the reviews and I decided to give it a go with a consultation. After I filled out the form, no more than 15 minutes later, I received a call from Greg. Now, in my experience, I’m use to getting a call to schedule an appointment and that would be that. So a call from Greg personally was a great first impression. He was very thorough with the entire process up front and answered my questions. I was assured by the end of the call, I’d chosen the best attorney for me. During the process I was kept well informed by Greg. If I had any questions he was available by email and telephone but to be honest, he was so thorough in his process, I hardly had any questions! Everything was straight forward! I am extremely pleased with the services offered and even more pleased that my bankruptcy has been discharged. I’d 10/10 recommend Greg Shanfeld @ Wadhwani & Shanfeld.

I decided to hire this law firm after reading reviews and speaking with Greg. Choosing the right lawyer to handle your case is so important. After making a bad decision previously with another law office, I contacted this office and the staff were professional, my confidence in this firm is outstanding. If you want a law firm that will take care of business and see you through your dilemma, give this law office a try. I am very satisfied with their service and will never forget the kindness of the people who work at this law firm.

In November 2021 I was looking for an attorney to file bankruptcy after losing my job. I googled attorneys within my area and thank god I found Greg. I was thinking about calling other places but I went ahead and gave Greg a call ( I saw all his reviews and noticed he had 5 stars but I wanted to make sure my self if he was able to help me) not knowing anything about the process he was very clear and honest about how it works to file bankruptcy. After talking to him I felt relieved and sent out all the information and documents needed. I was super afraid at first but the way he works very professional and confident made me take the decision of the process. He’s and excellent attorney and I’m thankful for what he and his team did about my case. I will definitely recommend him. Thank you

I was super worried about going through the bankruptcy process, but Greg and the other staff put me at ease. They explained each step thoroughly and answered any questions I had. They all made me feel comfortable and less anxious about the whole process. They walked me through each step and made everything less painful. I would definitely recommend them.
