When the bankruptcy law became more complex in 2005, many bankruptcy attorneys focused on other areas of law. Then, when the economy soured and bankruptcies rose, many jumped back in … along with others who had no bankruptcy experience. The result: many attorneys who claim to be bankruptcy experts are not.

Seriously Specialized in Bankruptcy
Attorney Burton got his first exposure to bankruptcy law early in his career: while still in law school, he clerked with a law firm that specialized in bankruptcy. He learned through that experience what a powerful tool bankruptcy could be and how he could use it to help people who were facing financial ruin.
During his career, Stephen Burton has served as an attorney for bankruptcy trustees, taught bankruptcy at the National Business Institute and practiced before the bankruptcy courts in California. He regularly attends continuing education classes and seminars to stay informed of changes to the bankruptcy law. As a consequence, virtually every case he files is successful.
