Summary: JD Journal has released a list of the top bankruptcy boutiques in Los Angeles for 2017.
Note: These are BCG Attorney Search’s favorite bankruptcy boutiques in Los Angeles.
Los Angeles is well-known for Hollywood and its beautiful celebrities, but the city also is a mecca for manufacturing, trade, and real estate. While those businesses may bring in billions of dollars, there is still a chance that their debts could overshadow their profits, meaning that they may have to file for the dreaded B word–bankruptcy.
While big law firms have offices in the City of Angels, some clients prefer a more personalized experience that boutiques are famous for. That is why JD Journal has identified the best bankruptcy boutiques in Los Angeles, and we’ve ranked them below by size.
1. Pachulski Stang Ziehl & Jones

On their website, they state what exactly sets them apart from the rest.
“We do not overlawyer matters, and the attorneys that our clients hire stay actively involved. Our firm is not leveraged on large numbers of associates. The result, we believe, is cost-effective representation and greater client satisfaction.”

From the most senior attorney to the most junior, KTB&S’ lawyers are recognized, nationally, for their talent, the results they achieve, and the manner in which they achieve those results, often under the most challenging of circumstances.” Some of their clients include Dewey & LeBouef, Enron, and Washington Mutual.
