"There are many advantages to declaring bankruptcy in California. Bankruptcy may allow you to eliminate most or even all of your debts, depending on your unique financial situation. Declaring bankruptcy may help you prevent the repossession of vital property in your life, such as your car or other motor vehicle. It may also help you stop foreclosure on your home, and stop debt collection services from harassing you and/or garnishing your wages. Also, as mentioned in the paragraph above, declaring bankruptcy will relieve you from any immediate debts, as the court system will issue you an automatic stay. Lastly, bankruptcy laws make it illegal for employers to discriminate against you for declaring bankruptcy, so doing so shouldn’t have a negative effect on your employment future.
However, nothing in life is without consequences, and there are certain drawbacks associated with declaring bankruptcy that one should be aware of before entering the process. Declaring bankruptcy will not eliminate all of your debts, such as your recent back taxes or fines currently owed to any government agencies. Also, filing for bankruptcy will have a negative effect on your future credit score. This may make it more difficult to secure a loan for a car or for a home in upcoming years. Additionally, your bankruptcy filing will have to made public record by law, meaning anyone can request a copy of your filings and examine the details of your bankruptcy. Lastly, shady credit lenders have been known to target people who have recently declared bankruptcy, so you may be targeted if you do end up filing for bankruptcy."

Steve Hoffman is one of the few trial attorneys in the country who not only holds a Commercial Driver’s License, but who has spent thousands of hours behind the wheel, driving big rigs. As the co-founder and owner of a trucking company for over ten years, Steve also managed the maintenance and safety programs following Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration regulations, and spent a lot of time in the garage, inspecting, maintaining and repairing the fleet of Class 8 tractor trailers. It’s his prior experience in the trucking industry that gives Steve an edge over most other lawyers.
Before college, Steve worked as a forklift operator in a lumber yard before taking off to West Texas to work as a roughneck on oil rigs for two years. He also worked as a blasthole driller, worked in construction as a framer, as a mason and as a heavy equipment operator before going back to college and then law school. Steve applies the work ethic he learned in those years to his law practice today.
"Representing victims of truck crashes requires specific knowledge of the laws and regulations that apply to the trucking business and knowledge of the industry standards and practices that apply to drivers and others in the trucking business.
