Helping people get a fresh start

General Info
A central part of my legal practice since 1992 has been bankruptcy law and helping my clients file for chapter 7 and chapter 13 bankruptcy protection. The bankruptcy law gives people a fresh start by wiping out some debt and creating a payment plan that the bankruptcy court determines is reasonable. I like being able to help relieve my clients of some of the stress and chaos caused by credit card debt, medical bills, foreclosure notices, auto repossessions, past tax bills, burdensome student loans and other bills. I offer a free consultation and all our meetings are private and confidential.

We had a rather complicated bankruptcy due to losing our home, a chronic medical condition forcing an early and unplanned retirement, and a move across the country to find a doctor who could treat that medical condition. Attorney John Simonian was very understanding and nonjudgmental, extremely knowledgeable in the specifics of both federal and state bankruptcy law, and provided us with a way to get a fresh start out from under a mountain of debt we simply had no way of repaying. Thank you, John!

To have to file bankruptcy is very upsetting. You need a professional, highly skilled attorney to navigate the legal intricacies of the process. I found this with Attorney Simonian. All calls were returned promptly. The specifics of my case where addressed. I highly recommend Attorney Simonian.

I never thought I would say this about a lawyer, but Atty Simonian was everything I could have hoped for and more. I was humiliated, depressed, and embarrassed to even be thinking about declaring bankruptcy, but John understood that bad things happen to good people, and even to smart people who make mostly good decisions along the way.



He and his staff treated me with dignity and respect the whole way through, which made the entire, awful process so much more palatable. I know he probably deals with hundreds of these cases every week, but I always felt like a real human being to him, and an important one at that. He answered my (many) questions promptly, and anticipated and answered ones I didn't know or think to ask. He kept me well-informed, and made sure I knew when not to worry about something I got in the mail. He gave me good and important advice, and guided me through the process so well and so much more comfortably than I could have imagined.



When my situation changed and got even worse because I was about to lose my job, he was proactive and reached out to me before I even had a chance to tell him. He had seen on the news that the company was closing, thought of me, and contacted me with suggestions ready on how we could handle it and make it work so that I didn't have to stress about it more than I already was.



I am still not happy that I had to take this road for myself, but I am so, so happy that I picked John as my partner to see me through it. I couldn't have asked for better!!!

I was very pleased with all of the results. John made me feel very confident in this case. Especially being audited, and stressed, I was always reassured. Thanks to Augusta as well.

When I was in such a bad financial position, Attorney John Simonian was a God send. He walked me through the whole process from beginning to end. I think my case took longer than most because of different things that were going on and he was always willing to answer questions, give advice, and be of assistance when needed.

I have and will continue to recommend Attorney John Simonian to anyone in need. He truly cares for his clients and I’m thankful for what he did for me.

John is a GREAT Atty-Very easy to talk to -NEVER made you feel uncomfortable through the WHOLE process. John and his staff kept me very much informed every step of the way and made the whole process go smoothly and quickly. This whole process can be scary and hard to go through but John was great-Got back to me right away from the 1st inquiry to MANY months later contacting him to ask a question-he always got back to me the same day. VERY VERY Professional. THANK YOU John
