Legal help when the next step matters.
Osorio Law Office helps individuals and families understand their legal options, prepare carefully, and move forward with clarity and care in immigration matters and bankruptcy matters, including Chapter 7 and Chapter 13.
Clear guidance for serious legal matters.
Immigration and bankruptcy cases are not just paperwork. They can affect your family, your future, your work, your home, your financial stability, and your ability to move forward.
Many people come to us because they do not know what category their problem belongs in. They may have received an immigration denial, discovered an old immigration problem, been told they need a waiver, want to help a family member, or feel overwhelmed by debt and creditor pressure.
Our role is to slow the process down, help you understand what is happening, and guide you toward the next honest legal step.
From confusion to next step.

From the office in the City of San Fernando, he serves individuals and families throughout the San Fernando Valley and surrounding Los Angeles communities.

Common questions before a consultation.
These general answers can help you prepare. The right legal option depends on your individual facts, documents, and goals.
Do you handle both Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy?
Yes. Osorio Law Office assists consumers with both Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy matters. The appropriate chapter depends on factors such as income, debts, assets, arrears, household circumstances, and what you need to protect.
What happens during a bankruptcy consultation?
The office reviews your financial situation, including your debts, income, expenses, assets, lawsuits, garnishments, and payment arrears. The purpose is to identify whether bankruptcy may be an option and what information is still needed.
How do I know whether Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 may apply?
Chapter 7 generally focuses on discharge of qualifying debts, while Chapter 13 uses a court-supervised repayment plan and may help address certain arrears. Eligibility and risk must be reviewed individually before choosing a chapter.
Can bankruptcy stop creditor collection activity?
Filing a bankruptcy case generally creates an automatic stay that stops many collection actions, but exceptions and limitations apply. The office can review the specific collection activity you are facing and explain how the law may apply.
What documents should I bring to a bankruptcy consultation?
Helpful documents may include recent pay information, tax returns, bank statements, bills, credit reports, collection letters, lawsuit or garnishment papers, mortgage and vehicle statements, and a list of your property and monthly expenses.
Can you review an old immigration denial?
Yes. The office can review prior applications, notices, decisions, and available immigration history to help determine what happened and whether a next step may be available. A prior denial does not produce the same options in every case.
Do you provide consultations in Spanish?
Yes. Osorio Law Office provides legal services in English and Spanish. Call the office to schedule and explain whether your matter involves immigration or bankruptcy.
