Representing Debtors in Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 Bankruptcy
When I speak with my clients, what I most often hear from them can be summed up in one word: STRESS. Stress about how they will pay their late mortgage payments, stress over losing the only vehicle that allows them to go to work, and stress about the cut in their overtime. Worry about juggling one debt to pay another, worry about overdrafting their account, and worry about how they will pay rent when that lawsuit from 10 years ago is taking 25% of their paycheck. Strain in their relationships, fights with their spouses, having to say no to their children, and not having a vacation in years. The sleep that they lose every night, the weight they have gained from so much worry, the toll on their health, the brink of divorce that the debt takes them to. The struggle to keep it together and the struggle to finally make an appointment to come and see me.
And, although bankruptcy is never an easy decision to make, one of the most fundamental questions I have my clients ask themselves is: How would I feel if I woke up tomorrow morning and I had no debts? What would it feel like to erase your credit card debt, so that you were able to focus on making your car payment on-time, or finally contributing to your retirement account, or answering your phone without harassment from creditors?
I have over 10 years of experience practicing bankruptcy law, and my in-house counsel, Steven Jacobs, has been practicing for over 40 years. At the Law Offices of Jennifer Reichhoff, we strive to provide knowledgeable, personal, compassionate and confidential representation through your current financial difficulties. We represent both consumers and small businesses in Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy filings.

Bankruptcy can STOP:

Bankruptcy may:

At your free consultation:
We will discuss your current financial situation, such as the property you own and the debts you owe. We will then discuss whether bankruptcy is a good option for you and which type of bankruptcy would best suit your situation: Chapter 7 or Chapter 13, what is expected to happen in your case, any required documents, and any fees. In almost all cases, payment plans are available. Please feel free to clink on the Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 link to learn a little more about what to expect during your case.
Many people are often nervous or embarrassed at the idea of speaking to a bankruptcy attorney, but I can assure you that it is my goal to make you feel as comfortable as possible, and I find that the majority of my clients feel better and less stressed about their finances after learning how bankruptcy can help them.

"5 stars - Jennifer was great to work with and helped us through a very difficult time. We always spoke with her directly and not a secretary, she responded to our questions and concerns quickly, and was always very kind a pacient. I HIGHLY recommend her to anyone going through this process!"

Excellent bankruptcy attorney We had an appointment with Jennifer to discuss a pending foreclosure on our property. We felt like failures. She was very kind and caring, at our first meeting we left there feeling so relieved. She is very knowledgeable and professional explaining the process of bankruptcy and taking the time to answer all of our questions. We not only were able to save our house but we also removed an equity line, which was something we didn't even know we could do."

Wonderful Attorney Jennifer is great! She made the whole experience quick and painless. It took her less than a month to file my case (I was with another attorney, and after 6 months my case still wasn't filed). I always spoke to her, my paperwork was completed quickly, and she let me pay my fees in installments (and she was cheaper than the other attorney I was with). I would highly recommend her."

Excellent representation Jennifer Reichhoff helped us through a very stressful time. She made us feel like there was light at the end of the tunnel and we weren't bad people. She took the time and always responded quickly to our calls. We always dealt directly with her and not an assistant. She is very knowledgeable and easy to talk to."

" I have the luck to find jennifer she is a honest person you can trust she can help you she is a real profesional lawyer"
"Highly recommend. Jennifer is great! We went out and met with some other attorneys (after a terrible experience--see below), but Jennifer was the only attorney we met with that made my wife and I feel comfortable. She was easy to talk to, explained everything really well, and was knowledgeable. More importantly, we turned in our paperwork once, we always spoke to Jennifer directly, and our case was filed within a few weeks. My wife and I retained another attorney in San Leandro first and it was a total nightmare--he lost my paperwork three times, I only spoke to his secretaries, he never knew what was going on with my case, and after FOUR months, we asked for a refund (which also took forever)."

"My mom filed a bankruptcy with Jennifer. She is super nice, was able to explain things to my mom in spanish, and was reasonable. The process was fast and easier than we thought it would be"
"I needed an attorney for an emergency filing due to a loan mod. delay, she was the only one I found who would help me. She takes her time with you and doesn't rush you out of her office. I felt so relieved by the time I left her office. She makes you feel like you are not a bad person for getting yourself into the financial mess, very compassionate. She saved my house and the bankruptcy will remove my 2nd mortgage. Highly recommended."
"Interview and documents done by the attorney, that's a first. She was compassionate and professional. I would highly recommend her for anyone who needed to file for bankruptcy. She's great."
"Jennifer is professional and compassionate to a person's situation. She didn't rush us through our free consultation and fully explained how a bankruptcy could help us and even remove our 2nd mortgage. She removed a lot of stress that had been hanging over our marriage. Highly recommended."
"Jennifer was great! We had to see an attorney right away to help me and my husband save our house from a foreclosure. Attorney Jennifer saw us right away, and was sooo nice. She filed our case in only a few days, and saved our home. We had another attorney before, but he took forever to return calls, and represented us for three months without even completing any paperwork. Attorney Jennifer was easy to work with, was easy to get in touch with, very easy to talk to. We have referred our friends and family to her (and a few strangers)."
"Jennifer was REALLY nice, and made me feel so comfortable. I always speak to her, she knows what's going on with my case, and everything was done so quickly (it took less than 1 month!). She has been really great, and I'd definitely recommend her. I was with another attorney in San Leandro first. After 3 months with him, nothing was done (he hadn't even typed my case), and he never knew what was going on. Every time I saw him, he told me to call one of his secretaries because he didn't know."
"This is my first yelp review, but I found Jennifer on yelp and hope that by doing a reivew, anyone else in my situation will find her..
I was about to lose my home after 17 years, and my credit card debts were crazy (which I find embarrassing). I was drowning and didn't know what to do. I went on yelp and looked fo a bankruptcy attorney. Then clicked on Jennifer and looked at the filtered reviews - they were great so I scheduled an appointment.
She got me in right away and the consult was free. She filed my case asap and saved my home. She also got rid of my equity line, she reduced my car payment and I'm paying off almost none of the credit cards. Thank you for everything Jennifer and GOD BLESS YOU!"
"Brought my Auntie to see Jennifer in her Richmond office. Like always, she was amazing. My Auntie has cancer and was going to lose her home of 50 years last week. Jennifer was so nice and easy to talk to. Her website says "compassionate," and that's what we got. She filed my Auntie's case in less than 2 weeks and saved her home. I highly recommend her."
"Jennifer was extremely nice and professional. Made me comfortable, which I wasn't sure I could be considering I came to file a bk. Met with her, the attorney, and not a secretary or paralegal. Reasonable fee plus let me pay her in a payment plan. Would definitely recommend."
