The Law Offices of David A. Tilem is a boutique law firm of six attorneys (two of whom are "of counsel"). We have offices in Glendale California, serving primarily Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, Ventura and Santa Barbara Counties, and in Casper, Wyoming serving all of the state of Wyoming. The attorneys collectively share over 75 years of bankruptcy and litigation experience. We represent debtors, creditors and bankruptcy trustees. We also handle bankruptcy appeals, non-bankruptcy liquidations and reorganizations, mortgage modifications, business litigation, expert witness work involving bankruptcy law and other matters. In association with Enrolled Agent Bo Kennelly, the firm provides tax return preparation services, offers in compromise and other tax related services, Members of the staff speak English, Spanish and Mandarin.
The Firm handles all types of bankruptcy cases, from consumer Chapter 7 matters involving credit card debts, to complex business reorganizations under Chapter 11 and everything in between. To help consumer homeowners, we are actively pursuing mortgage modifications, Chapter 13 lien stripping, and violations of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ("FDCPA").
For creditors, the Firm offers a unique perspective and level of experience on both the debtor and creditor sides of each transaction. Services range from filing a bankruptcy Proof of Claim, seeking relief from stay, monitoring the status of a case, to opposing Chapter 11 and Chapter 13 plan confirmation. In consumer cases, the firm is prepared to challenge either the dischargeability of a claim or the debtor's right to receive a discharge.
Employees of the Firm see themselves as counselors of the law, as well as advocates for our clients. In general terms, we believe we have three active responsibilities: assisting clients with goal setting; educating our clients about options, and pursuing client goals and objectives.
Goal Setting. Our first duty is to listen to you, our clients. What are your priorities? What are your goals? What risks are you willing to take? Can you afford to see this through?
Education. Our second duty is to educate. What are the options? What are the likely results? What are the risks? What are the costs? What are the benefits? Does this make sense given your priorities?
Execution. Our third duty is to pursue the goals and objectives selected by our clients while constantly re-evaluating all of the strategic alternatives. Is this cost effective? Should we start settlement discussions? Will a mediator help? Should we be more or less aggressive? Does this make sense, given your priorities?
These duties must be tempered at all times by ethical boundaries, practical considerations and common sense.
