Questions about business law
How fast can you review a contract?
Standard commercial agreements under twenty pages are returned with marked-up comments within three business days. Same-day review is available on an expedited fee.
Do you act for both sides of a transaction?
No. We act for one party and decline the other, even where both are existing clients.
Can you work on a retainer?
Yes. Our monthly retainer covers unlimited short advice calls and up to twenty pages of contract review, with discounted rates on anything beyond that.
What happens if we end up in court?
You get a written litigation budget with a ceiling before the first filing, and a reconciliation every fortnight thereafter.

Commercial advice that keeps you out of court
If you are overloaded with debt and being harassed by creditors, you may be unsure of where to turn. Who can help you get your debt under control? What if you just can’t make the payments?
Contrary to popular belief, bankruptcy can actually be an excellent option for people who are overwhelmed by debt and don’t know how they will be able to get out of it on their own. Declaring bankruptcy can result in many of your debts being cleared completely, and for the debts that cannot be cleared, you can negotiate a reasonable payment plan that still leaves you with the money you need to care for yourself and your family.
At the Kalra Law Firm, we are available to counsel you on the best way to handle the debt you’ve been burdened with. We will provide you with sound legal advice, so you can determine whether filing bankruptcy is the best option for you and your family and whether you would be better off filing a chapter 7, chapter 11 or chapter 13 bankruptcy.
You may be hesitant to spend money hiring a bankruptcy attorney when you are already in debt, and you may have heard that you can save money by filing on your own. Rest assured that filing for bankruptcy involves a significant amount of complicated paperwork. If it is not completed properly or submitted correctly, you could lose many of your valuable assets or fail to get as much of your debt cleared as possible.
Call the Kalra Law Firm today to schedule an appointment to discuss how bankruptcy can help you start over financially and live the debt free life you’ve always wanted. (310) 325-9012.
