Why Choose Alia Khan as Your California Bankruptcy Attorney?

Alia Khan isn’t just another bankruptcy lawyer. She has built her law practice around a simple promise: treat every client like family, respond quickly, and never push someone into a bankruptcy chapter that benefits the attorney more than the client. Here’s what sets Khan Law apart from other California bankruptcy firms.

Some large bankruptcy firms shuffle clients between rotating staff members. At Khan Law, you work with just three people throughout your entire case: Alia Khan and her two paralegals. This small team approach means you’ll never have to re-explain your situation to a stranger or wonder who’s handling your file.

Alia personally represents every client at their 341 Meeting of Creditors, the required meeting where a trustee reviews your case. She never sends a substitute attorney. When you hire Alia Khan, you get Alia Khan.

Khan Law employs paralegals with over 60 years of combined bankruptcy experience. One team member spent 20 years working directly for Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 Trustees, the very people who review bankruptcy petitions. This insider perspective means your paperwork will be prepared with the precision trustees expect, reducing the chance of complications or delays. Another paralegal has worked for other bankruptcy attorneys throughout the state and can manage everything related to prefiling and post filing matters.

Financial stress doesn’t follow business hours. Khan Law Offices provides 24/7 support through an answering service, Alia and her team personally responds to emails and texts, including many evenings and weekends. Clients consistently mention how quickly the firm responds compared to other attorneys they’ve contacted.

The initial consultation process includes two separate meetings at no charge: one hour with a paralegal to gather your financial information, and one hour with Alia to discuss your legal options. This two-hour process ensures you understand exactly what bankruptcy can and cannot do for your situation before you spend a dime.

Khan Law Offices combines the personal attention of a small firm with the responsiveness clients need during a stressful time. Contact Alia Khan tod ay at (800) 419-8950 or email info@akhanlawoffices.com to schedule your free consultation and learn more about bankruptcy and your options.

Top-Rated California Bankruptcy Attorney Alia Khan, the Bankruptcy Queen

Alia Khan is a California bankruptcy and debt relief attorney who has focused her practice on helping individuals and families resolve overwhelming financial pressure. Since starting her legal career in 2007, she has built Khan Law Offices around clear communication, efficient case handling, and compassionate support. She offers extensive and tailored representation for Chapter 7 matters for working professionals, homeowners, retirees, and military members in California. Known as “The Bankruptcy Queen” to her social media following, Alia regularly shares free educational content that takes the fear and confusion out of the bankruptcy process.

Alia earned her Juris Doctorate from New College of California School of Law, along with a Master of Arts from Wichita State University and a Bachelor of Arts from California State University, Chico. She is a member of the State Bar of California. She is also admitted into all the federal courts in California, such as the Northern District of California Bankruptcy Court, Eastern District of the California Bankruptcy Court, the Central District of the California Bankruptcy Court and the Southern District of California Bankruptcy Court.

Chapter 7 vs. Chapter 13: Which Is Right for You?

California residents considering bankruptcy typically choose between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13. Understanding the differences helps you make an informed decision.

Chapter 7 provides a relatively quick path to debt elimination. Most cases conclude within 3-4 months and qualifying debtors emerge with most unsecured debts completely discharged. Eligibility depends primarily on your income; you must pass the “means test” showing your household income falls below California’s median or that you lack sufficient disposable income to fund a repayment plan.

This is the bankruptcy chapter Alia Khan handles exclusively. Her focus allows her to identify every opportunity to qualify clients for Chapter 7 relief rather than defaulting to longer, more expensive alternatives.

Chapter 13 involves a five-year repayment plan. It’s typically used by higher earners who don’t qualify for Chapter 7, homeowners trying to catch up on mortgage arrears, or people with significant non-exempt assets they want to protect. Chapter 13 requires years of monthly payments and ongoing court supervision.

Some bankruptcy firms may push clients toward Chapter 13 because there are significantly higher fees associated with these cases. Alia Khan takes a different approach. She exhausts every legal strategy to qualify clients for Chapter 7 first, the faster, simpler option most people actually want.

If after exploring all the other options, Alia Khan determines that you need Chapter 13 protection, Khan Law Offices will refer you to a trusted colleague who handles those cases. You’ll never be steered into a five-year payment plan simply because it pays the attorney more.

Key Takeaway: Chapter 7 eliminates debt in months while Chapter 13 requires years of payments. Khan Law Offices focuses on getting clients into Chapter 7 whenever possible.

Frequently Asked Questions About California Bankruptcy

A Chapter 7 bankruptcy remains on your credit report for ten years, but its impact diminishes over time. Many clients see credit score improvements within 1-2 years of discharge as they rebuild with secured credit cards and on-time payments.

Bankruptcy filings are public records, but employers are not automatically notified. Unless you owe money to your employer or they run credit checks, they typically would not discover your filing.

Attorney fees vary by firm and case complexity. Khan Law Offices offers transparent pricing and payment arrangements during your free consultation.
