Diane Gibson Law Office in Carlsbad holds Certified Specialist status in Personal and Small Business Bankruptcy Law from the California State Bar Board of Legal Specialization. Chapter 7 liquidation, Chapter 11 reorganization, and Chapter 13 repayment plans all fall under the practice's scope on Faraday Avenue, and the means-test calculations those filings require frequently involve parallel CPA coordination at CapForge Bookkeeping, Tax & More. Since earning a J.D. from the University of San Diego School of Law in 1986, the firm has represented both debtors and creditors in adversary proceedings, relief-from-stay motions, and preference actions throughout the Southern District of California. Debt resolution outside of formal bankruptcy — including negotiated settlements and structured repayment agreements — rounds out a caseload that also covers commercial lease termination disputes. That combined litigation-and-negotiation scope addresses the full range of insolvency work along the Palomar Airport Road corridor, where post-filing tax obligations often require coordination with San Diego Tax & Financial Associates. Highest-complexity engagements involve multi-entity Chapter 11 reorganizations requiring coordinated adversary proceedings, lien-stripping motions, and 11 U.S.C. § 523 nondischargeability defenses across concurrent Southern District dockets.
