While we didn't end up working together as bankruptcy was not applicable to my situation, I rarely in this day and age meet any professional in any sector that I don't at least experience some anxiety and reservation over. Because Life is so much more complex these days with the human element becoming less and less. I didn't feel that with Cate one scintilla. Cate is a delight, so easy to converse with and follow.

If you are already dealing with the shame spiral of credit issues, you need and can get help. We hit that wall and I was lucky enough to have the Cline Law Group pop up first when I searched for a BK attorney in Oakland. Jake is incredibly patient, understanding, and kind through all steps of the process. Need a question answered? He'll set up a Zoom within a couple of days. Think it's going to be a nightmare to get all the info you'll need and submit it? It's not easy but... it was nothing compared to what we imagined. Jake walked us through each step. Jake and his father have been doing this in Oakland for decades. That means you have an attorney very familiar with the local trustees, what they will be looking at, and how to have a successful filing. You will not believe the relief you will feel once you get guidance and learn exactly what to do next. We are now in Chapter 13 and making our monthly payments on schedule. We reached out in early January 2025, were advised to wait until after we filed our 2024 taxes so the process didn't start until March and we are now 6 payments in our plan. No more collection notices, no more phone calls, just one easy payment. Highly recommend!
