Services
Prior to forming The West Coast Bankruptcy Attorneys, Ryan C. Wood was the Staff Counsel for David Burchard, the Chapter 13 Trustee for the Santa Rosa and San Francisco Divisions of the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of California. As Staff Counsel for Mr. Burchard, Mr. Wood conducted Section 341 meetings of the creditors, confirmation hearings and litigated abuses of the bankruptcy process.
Chapter 7 bankruptcy is the fastest and least expensive way to obtain a fresh start and stop harassing creditors and debt collectors. See Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Timeline below. As soon as your bankruptcy petition is filed, the Automatic Stay takes effect stopping all collection actions against you including lawsuits, foreclosures, garnishments, bank levies and repossessions.
A Chapter 13 bankruptcy is the reorganization of your debts with the approval of the bankruptcy court. A common myth is that you have to pay back all of your debts in a Chapter 13 bankruptcy case and that is not true. You are supposed to pay back what you can afford. Call 650-366-4858 to schedule a free consultation and find out if bankruptcy is right for you.
If you have a pending foreclosure sale, repossession, levy or wage garnishment filing an emergency bankruptcy case will stop all of it immediately upon filing of the bankruptcy case. Our consultations are free and we have the experience of ten years of saving homes, cars, money in your bank account and wages.
If you are facing foreclosure, if you have fallen behind on your mortgage payments or are having trouble making your mortgage payments, bankruptcy will stop foreclosure of your home and even allow you to get rid of underwater second mortgages or equity lines of credit. When your bankruptcy petition is filed, an automatic stay will go in effect and stop all foreclosure proceedings.

I can’t thank you enough for your outstanding dedication you gave me. I am highly recommending his firm!

Making the decision to file for bankruptcy was very difficult. The easiest part was retaining Ryan Wood, From the very beginning he was very positive, reassuring and professional yet very personable. I felt the relief the Chapter 13 provided only because I had Ryan to guide me. I emailed and called Ryan quite often, he always returned my emails or phone calls very quickly, even at night and weekends. I highly , highly recommend Ryan Wood!

I am so sorry that you are looking for support for the need of declaring Bankruptcy, but you are absolutely looking at the right law firm for the job. About 5 1/2 years ago, I was first drawn to consider Ryan to represent my wife and I, as Ryan has considerable experience on the other side of bankruptcy working as an attorney for the trustees and federal judges prior to opening his own firm representing people with financial troubles. After our initial meeting, I had zero doubt we had the right guy for the job. We were simply horrified by the prospect of filing for bankruptcy to clean up the mess

I am so grateful to Ryan Wood for getting my life under control. Due to the unexpected sudden passing of my husband and finding myself head over heels in debt, there was no way that my one income could cover all of it. I was stressed to the max (which I am sure he knew) when I walked into his office. He went over everything very patiently and thoroughly with me. I am very pleased with the outcome and would most definitely recommend him. He will limit your sleepless nights.

Any Bankruptcy can be a trying and stressful time. Growing up it was instilled in my brain from my father that ensuring your credit does not get tarnished. However, we can only control so much. Working with The Law Offices of Lin & Wood was the easiest and most pleasant team to work with. After my consultation with Kitty, a huge burden was lifted off of my shoulders. I decided to hired Kitty and Ryan as my representative. She helped me get through and understand the type of BK to go with. Communication was on point and I was on my way to repaying my creditors. I've since completed my BK (1yr) and
