Lennie Alzate Attorney

I would have given them zero stars if it was an option. Communication is horrible, no one answers the phone, return calls from voice mails or replies to emails. I sent an email to Britni on January 4^th and have yet received a response. John is equally worse.

Lennie is as good as it gets. She is far more personable than many other attorneys, but also knows exactly what she is doing when it comes to bankruptcy. She keeps things simple and gets the results that you want as a client. What more can you ask for?
I Highly recommend Lennie.

When you have tried everything to fix your financial situation, sometimes Chapter 7 is the way to go. My partner and I wrestled with the moral questions of filing bankruptcy and we were also terrified by the actual process of filing and also the outcome post-​bankruptcy. We looked at attorneys on Unilocal!and we are SO GLAD to have chosen the best attorneys in San Diego to handle this type of case.
Lennie and John are two of the nicest, helpful and competent people and that’s what you need, in the end, when you go in front of the trustee. So I will start with the steps. Our first step was to call and arrange a meeting with Lennie where we laid out all of our debts and she reviewed them all and even suggested that some IRS past taxes that I owed could be used under Chapter 7. I was completely surprised as I did not know that some IRS past taxes would apply here, but they do. Student Loans do not. Not all of my back taxes applied, but Lennie saved me over $ 10K alone in back taxes!!! Lennie said we would need to take (2) online courses for a nominal fee. After we completed that, it produced (2) certificates that were automatically applied to our case. These two courses are required by the debtor to take before the case is «discharged.»
We met Lennie in her office in Point Loma/​Rosecrans and she was very sweet. She entered all of assets and debts into the software program that produced our «Claim,» that was then automatically filed with the Court. We were done «filing,» in an hour. Amazing!!!
The next step, three months later is the «trustee» meeting. The trustee is the person who represents the creditors. You meet the trustee downtown in a federal building with other debtors. At this point, we met John Varley, Lennie’s partner. He handled the trustee’s questions and represented us when it was our turn for the trustee to «hear» our case. He asked two questions and then we were done. While we were waiting to be called, we witnessed other debtors and their attorneys. LET ME BE VERY CLEAR HERE. There are incompetent bankruptcy attorneys out there and we saw a person and their attorney have their whole case thrown out because the attorney did not file it properly. When we were called, we were so grateful that we had John there to back us up competently. And he did.
At the end of the three months, our case was ruled by a judge to be «discharged.» We are now financially free from over $ 10K in back taxes and a total of $ 63K in credit card debt for a grand total of $ 73K that Lennie and John saved us from paying back.
How do you thank two awesome people from financial ruin? You write an awesome Unilocal!review and tell all your friends what great people they are. And lastly, ON TOP OF ALL THAT, Lennie gave us a break — she only charged us as 1 person for both of us to declare Chapter 7. Another $ 1100.00 saved by Lennie.
If you need to declare bankruptcy — do not be foolish — go to the BEST attorneys in San Diego to get it done right, the first time: Alzate and Varley Bankruptcy Attorneys.
We THANK you Lennie & John from the bottom of our hearts!

Lennie and John were fantastic! They took all the fear out of the filing process, explained things in a really simple way, and took care of absolutely everything!
If I would have known how easy the process was, I would have done it years ago. If you’re considering filing for bankruptcy, I would highly recommend going in to see them! It’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made — and I’m well on my way to financial recovery!

Lennie is by far one of the most down to earth attorneys around. She is very thorough and does a great job in keeping you informed throughout the entire process, whatever your case may be. She is easy to talk to and is there for you every step of the way. I highly recommend Lennie.

Lennie and John are great! They treat you like family and make you feel like it too. They were always there for every question I had. (I had a lot of them) they helped me to better understand what exactly was going on even when things seemed so difficult. I felt at times questioning if I was doing the right thing for me and my family. They made me feel more confident in it. It was a rough experience and John and Lennie were on top of it! Thank you guys! I highly recommend them! A+++++

Lennie deserves 5 stars across the board. I was anxious about the bankruptcy process, but Lennie eased all my negativity. She was quick, thorough, down to earth and professional. She made my experience smooth & stress-​free. I would highly recommend her!

Lennie was a God send. She was able to walk me through a very difficult decision and put me at ease immediately. She was very knowledgeable about the process and was there every step of the way. I had a lot of questions here and there and she was very responsive in a timely manner. I would recommend her to anyone looking for some legal guidance about their financial situation.

Lennie is hands down the most professional and helpful person I have ever met! I deal with a lot of lawyers with my line of work. Never did I have to call on one for my own needs. I found her on Unilocal to help me with my bankruptcy. It was finished and discharged in less than 3 months or so. It was such a breeze. I had people hassling me even after I filed and had a case #. She was always so easy to get ahold of via email. She even told these harassing people to back off. She was such a relief and very much appreciated! Lennie you rock!

I saw her review on Unilocal,decidel to give her a call sure enough she was amazing! she made everything easy for me, she communicated with me until the day I got my discharge she is really good at what she does. I recommend her for everyone who want to file bankruptcy.

This review is graciously deserved. Lennie is an incredible person!
–She is quick to respond and answer questions
–She is thorough
–She is easy to communicate with and I appreciate being able to work one on one with someone rather than dealing with secretary’s or paralegals.
Lennie is very knowledgeable and helped me assess my financial situation and come up with a solution that would work for my family. I learned a lot through my conversations with her.
I’d recommend her to family and that says a lot. especially these days when no one seems to care about genuine customer service anymore.
A++!

Lennie is a God sent! My wife and I were facing a very stressful situation. To our surprise, we were issued a bank levy in which our entire funds from our bank account were wiped out. We were referred to Lennie by an acquaintance who assured us she would be able to help us in this very stressful situation. I called Lennie and explained her our situation. Lennie was willing to start our case immediately without payment up front which I could not believe. Lennie is nothing less than amazing and she made us feel like family. She knew exactly what needed to be done, and was able to get our funds back within a few days.
Lennie kept us informed throughout the entire process, and made a very stressful situation stress free. When I was in her office she let me use her personal computer to take the online test. When it came time to pay for the online test, my debit card was declined as we had no money in our account. As embarrassed as I was, Lennie assured me it was ok, and grabbed her purse and payed for the online test with her personal credit card so there wouldn’t be any delays in the process.
My wife and I thank God everyday for sending us Lennie, and I would refer her to ALL my friends and family. Our BK recently got discharged and we are so excited about a fresh start for 2014!
Lennie deserves 10 STARS!!!

Top notch. Lennie is exactly who you want representing your legal interests. She is fair, reasonable, honest and most importantly FEARLESS in protecting your legal needs.
i have worked with her on a few matters and would, without hesitation, refer my family and friends to her.

I was making really good money at my previous job. I own my home and also have a rental property. I had some credit card debt but it was still manageable with the income I had coming in. I started a new job in January of 2012 and my pay was cut in half. I started living on my credit cards expecting to be able to pay off the debt at the beginning of 2013 when I received my annual commission check. I was making minimum payments on all my credit cards, my homes, and my car. Unfortunately, I didn’t make quota in 2012. My cards were almost maxed out and I was just transferring balances from one card to another to avoid interest and penalty fees. I didn’t have a single late payment on my credit but I knew I wasn’t going to be able to last another year with the hope of getting a commission check. I found Lennie just in time. I didn’t know anything about bankruptcy. I looked online and I knew I made way over the median income to qualify for chapter 7 and I thought I would lose my condo (the only savings/​investment I have) in the process. I met with Lennie and she explained the whole process to me and said she thought I’d qualify for chapter 7 and still be able to keep my condo. She was awesome through the whole process. She is a hard worker and very communicative. She always answered my questions right away and even responded late at night AND on the weekends. I felt really embarrassed and ashamed that I was in this situation. She told me that bankruptcy is meant to give a fresh start to honest people with severe financial circumstances beyond their control. She is very sincere and easy to work with and made a very stressful process a lot less stressful. I’m happy to say I’m getting that fresh start because thanks to Lennie, every penny of my credit card debt was discharged in my chapter 7 bankruptcy!!! I have zero credit card debt and I got to keep my house and my condo!!! I have had credit card debt my whole life and now I get to start over and make better financial decisions. I am so thankful I found Lennie and I highly recommend her if you are having financial difficulty and considering bankruptcy.

Lennie Alzate is nothing less than amazing. She came through for me when I was facing a tight deadline and needed important help very quickly. She knew exactly what she was doing and did not waste my time and money by having me doing anything except what needed to be done.
Brilliant, pleasant, personable & an excellent communicator are only a few of the many wonderful qualities I found that Ms. Alzate possessed when she recently handled a case for me.
If I could add more stars to her rating, I would do so.

When I first met Lennie I could tell she was legit right away, she’s genuine and personable. Normally when dealing with attorneys, they just have a shady aura. you know they’re screwing you, but you cant prove it. It was completely opposite in this case, Lennie is actually very easy to speak with and explained procedures and next steps to me till it was crystal clear. I texted her personal line when I had questions. Man, she even let me use her computer to take an online counseling class. She is both professional and personable. Since I did tons of research to find her, I’d absolutely recommend Lennie for your law needs. You’ll be hard-​pressed to find a quality attorney with such affordable hourly rates. That’s why I chose her office.

Lennie Alzate is a very deliberate and friendly attorney. When I asked to meet with her, she welcomed me and made me feel like she was interested in my needs. I would definitely trust Lennie with my needs again in the future.
