Law Offices of James G. Beirne

James Beirne is the best! He’s down to earth and friendly and a caring and intelligent individual. I went to his office to update our family trust and it was a very easy, straightforward process. His notary can travel to you (for an extra charge) if it’s difficult for you to get out of the house. This solution was great for my Dad who is 94 and homebound but needed to sign and notarize some papers. My friend has previously gone to him for bankruptcy advice as he does bankruptcy law as well as family and personal trusts and wills. Highly recommend!

Jim Beirne is the best bankruptcy lawyer I’ve spoken to in Los Angeles. His knowledge of the law and how to plan the process so that the benefits far outweigh the negatives are in a league of their own. He’s experience and competence with complex issues is far greater than any other attorney I’ve spoken to.

Jim Beirne is a class act!
The idea of sitting down with a lawyer usually screams wasted money and monontonous legal talk that is over your head, and costs then more money.
A consultation with Mr Beirne couldn’t be farther from the that.
He explain all the nuts and bolts of the trust that needed to be created for my family in layman’s terms and was so genuine and conversational in his manner. As a family himself with a wealth of experience. He came across as one of those few who care about helping your family. It showed in the time he took to ask about them in detail and the specific goals that were to be achieved. Almost as inmportant it showed in the very reasonable price he charged for his expertise that beat most anyone I came across as well. If you need estate planning or bankruptcy assistance, call him today!

The trauma of the bankruptcy, the process, was just too much for me at that time so I decided to just let it go for awhile. I thought, I will deal with this law office in time. Well, after 3 years, I feel it’s time.
When I first met with him I thought he was nice guy. The people in the Glendale and West Covina office were nice too. Then came the time when the girl in the West Covina office (not a paralegal) handling my paperwork stopped returning my phone calls and emails, plus nobody was picking up the phone at their Glendale and West Covina office. With all the bad rap that I was reading about James Beirne at that time plus the no returning calls/​emails and no picking up calls, I got scared and so I hired another lawyer to handle my case. Eventually the girl returned my calls and was told that she went on a vacation and no one checked her messages/​email. I told her that I don’t want their office to represent me anymore, I got another lawyer, I want a refund. After a year of following up (It was confusing because at first it was his law offices of James Beirne, then it’s James Beirne and Paul Mendoza Allen, then later on it’s just Paul Mendoza Allen) I got a letter from James Beirne saying that I don’t get a refund. I paid over $ 5,000 for Chapter 13 and lien stripping. Nothing was filed. I don’t get a refund? I’m already broke and he still took money from me. It’s like you’re already hurt laying on the side of the road and then he still ran you over.

When you are considering your financial options consider this law office. Jim knows his law and process. Watching him work in the court he was by far the best prepared and most helpful lawyer. His communication with me was superb. He helped calm the stress and embarrasment of being in a difficult situation and protected my family. If you want to move forward in your life, start with the best and just call Jim.

I engaged Geoff and he is as good as it gets when it comes to bankruptcy. He is a good man with a big heart, which is rare in the legal trade and he helped my family through some rough times. He is so knowledgeable that even the judge deferred to him when it came to a recent change in the law! Geoff is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

I can’t say enough about James Beirne! He made me feel comfortable right off the bat and explained things to me in a way that I could understand. He is super knowledgeable and I highly recommend him.
