Hurst Law in Carlsbad Village provides bankruptcy and consumer protection representation from Carlsbad Village Drive, handling Chapter 7 liquidation and Chapter 13 reorganization filings for individuals and families across North County. Pre-petition financial analysis includes asset-exemption calculations under California's Code of Civil Procedure §703 and §704 schedules, a process that runs parallel to the tax-return preparation at Rockwater Associates when debtors need current filings for the bankruptcy court. Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and Rosenthal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act claims add a consumer protection component targeting illegal creditor conduct including unauthorized calls, false representations, and unfair collection practices. Telephone Consumer Protection Act and Fair Credit Reporting Act disputes extend the practice into identity theft recovery and inaccurate credit report correction. Post-discharge credit rebuilding often involves coordination with financial planning firms including iMerge Financial to stabilize debt-to-income ratios and re-establish lending eligibility. Highest-complexity cases include adversary proceedings that challenge the dischargeability of specific debts under 11 U.S.C. §523 and seek to void fraudulent transfers under §548.
