How a participating law firm may review your situation
After you submit a free case review, your request is delivered to a participating California law firm — participating firms are paid advertisers, and each firm independently determines whether it can assist you. The firm may contact you to learn more and explain how California claims generally work. There is no cost to request a review, and submitting the form does not create an attorney-client relationship.
What information to prepare

- Your monthly income and major expenses
- Any lawsuits, garnishments, or foreclosure notices
- Recent pay stubs and bank statements
- A list of major assets (home, vehicles)
- Any creditor letters or court paperwork
Why quick action matters
In debt situations, timing is critical — a foreclosure sale date, a garnishment, or a lawsuit response deadline can move fast, and filing bankruptcy triggers an "automatic stay" that can pause many collection actions. The sooner a participating firm can review your situation, the more options may be available. This is general information, not legal advice; a participating firm can explain the deadlines and options that apply to you.
