Borowitz & Clark

Barry was amazing in helping my mother file for bankruptcy. Always available, responded quickly to our many questions. Even now, months after our original business concluded, he is still answering questions and assisting us. Definitely recommend this firm – affordable, trustworthy and helpful.

5yrs I didn’t experience a aggressive support staff (which is who you will deal with after the free consultation), it was a lazy support staff. After my last bk payment the support staff said it would take 3 – 6 months for the court to actually discharge the case. I was facing foreclosure so I had emailed the paralegal as soon as the discharge paperwork came thru to email me. 4 months went by so I emailed asking the status of the discharge. No answer to the email for 2 wks. I go to the courthouse myself and the clerk says go online and take this course. I completed it at 11:30pm and 5 min later my discharge was emailed to me. The next morning this office emailed we have your discharge… Really!!! Now selling my home and my realtor tells me there is a lien on the property. In my consultation the attorney said they would remove it. I contact the office and they respond with YOU go to the court. YOU get a certified copy of the offer, and YOU take it to the county recorder. They are lazy and you will have to do the work yourself so go with a smaller office who will actually care about you. Just saying

Barry helped me start over. We won and I was debt free from 80 grand. Good customer service and helped me get my life back can’t say enough great things about Barry and his staff.

This review is based on my first and last impression with the law firm Borowitz and Clark. My first impression was with the AV office and they were extremely nice and then I was referred to the Burbank office. The Burbank office was a little harder to communicate with, but things worked out in the end. First of all Bankruptcy is one of the most stressful situations ever especially if you are a home owner. My only concern with filing a chapter 7 BK was owning property. However, the attorney that was assigned to me Barry Barrowitz was absolutely awesome. He went over everything with me page by page and kept stating he never lost a case. Dolorez was my contact person and the one who kept my nerves in check. She was fabulous. Anyway, I do understand why many of the reviews are poor. This may be due to the 24 hour call back policy. Normally bankruptcy is a quick and easy process. You should have not a reason to contact your attorney unless you feel there’s a small problem. The only downside is you will never get to speak with the person you are trying to reach the same day you call. This can be very stressful for the individual whose going through bankruptcy. As for the price it is a little pricy, but if you shop around the price is the going rate, The entire process started in August and was completed yesterday on November the 3^rd. Everything was exactly how my attorney stated would be and I was able to keep my home. Yeah! The downside was the trustee stated she will be taking my income tax refund. My God I really needed that money after being poor for over a year, but I’m still blessed and delighted that I get to start over.
So I’m giving the firm a big giant 5 stars for being there for me and for assigning me to such a sweetheart Dolorez. If you ever need a great attorney Barry Borrowtiz is awesome. Ask him about his childhood; his story alone will melt your heart. Thank you guys so much!

This place is great! My sister recommended me here a few years back. They are very very patient i file 6 yrs ago i stopped making payments cause i had been gone a couple of months then i kept losing jobs from left to right they never force me or harrassed me for payment they understood my personal problems. I highly recommend to go with borrowitz n clark good ppl great staff. thank you for not giving up on me and my case. Big shout out to dolores and annette for explaining and helping along the way.

First I want to say, I am in NO WAY a friend, bogus or a fraud. I am just a customer who is completely free as of today. 7÷23÷14 (started everything 3÷29÷14)
I was looking for an attorney for my bankruptcy and in searching I was told by a lawyer who takes people like me to court for debt what to look for. In cost and questions to be answered. The charge was just at the low end of what I was told by the lawyer. You get what you pay for in life.
I liked that Eric commented on the negative reviews. Honestly, that is why I went to the consultation. The good reviews and the responses to the negative ones.
After the consultation I decided to go with his firm and since the first day it has been smooth sailing. I had been very nervous about the whole ordeal. Eric kept telling me the worst part is the payment. It really is.
I had to take 2 classes before filing and after filing. Online. The courses are $ 25 and then $ 15 (Second one there was a discount). They were kind of tedious. But you have to take them to file. Anywhere you go.
I went to the court today where the nice guy who I don’t remember his name (young red haired guy from the Price Group) told me what was going to happen. My name was called. Guy at table asked a bunch questions (not too many) and that was it. (tip: be sure to be quiet and have your SS card and ID ready for the man who judges your case)
Walked out, guy who was my attorney shook my hand and said take care.
Seriously the staff at Borowitz & Clark were always responsive. Were always friendly. I highly recommend them!
Thank you Eric!

I have seen as many as 8 different BR attorneys looking for that magic solution to get out of the debt I incurred. Some were leading me the wrong way while others were pessimistic or disinterested. Then my wife asked me to solicit yet another’s opinion. So I stumbled upon B&C online and called and set an appointment with Erik Clark. I have not yet filed for BR and may not but Erik was the only attorney that saw there was more to this that was troubling me. His candor was very much appreciated and he gave me some very sound advice about how to proceed. But the best advice he gave me was not legal but to do some soul searching about what I want to get out of this process. I left with that thought and we are discussing various options that will help repair our home life first before filing. I have read the other comments and can not speak about their complaints only say that my experience was professional and beyond what I expected. Erik has been nice enough to answer some of my other questions via email in a prompt timely matter without a fee attached. I think he is worth your time.

If you find yourself in financial distress anywhere in Southern California you would be well served to consult with Borowitz and Clark LLP. I have referred numerous people to their firm over the years for bankruptcy related matters. Thes clients all tell me that they received nothing but the best and most personal service possible from knowledgeable and experienced lawyers.

It’s funny how obviously bogus the five star reviews are for this so called «firm». It’s really one dude in an office with a messaging service that distributes the leads to them.
I went in for a free consultation with Eric Clark and found him to be one more jerk wannabe hot shot lawyer that I’d never deal with. He tries to charge anywhere from $ 600.00-$ 1,000.00 more than other BK lawyers in the area. And for no reason other than that’s what he wants to charge for what amounts to 1 – 2 hours of work at most.
I’ve been told by multiple layers how easy and straight forward the whole process is. The lawyer does the filing electronically and then there’s a very very short hearing. That’s it. So there’s nothing any of these guys do that the other one can’t. Do yourself a favor and shop for prices.
Update: Notice the bogus review from Karina C? The name at the end of the fake ad doesn’t even match the name of the Unilocal account. Reported. Don’t buy this B.S. It’s common knowledge that student loan debt cannot be discharged as part of a bankruptcy.

This law office exceeded my expectations! The support and competitive urgency by the staff is unmatched. They walked me thru the entire process. They made me feel good during an unpleasant time. Mr. Borowitz and Annette Gomez are amazing. I’m truly blessed to have had such great representation during my bankruptcy.

You know it’s kind of funny that Erik C. has come forward to say that I ‘am hurling complaint’s when I was the one that was facing these problems and not him! Now if I ‘am wrong please call me, to find out the real story! I always kept them informed and your people didn’t follow through!

As a person who has had the privilege of working with this wonderful law firm, I can attest to the facts that Mr. Clark, Mr. Borowitz, and any associates they may have, hold their work ethics to a high esteem, and are first, and foremost, concerned with helping their clients through difficult and frustrating issues. When I worked at their firm, as a bankruptcy specialist, I interacted with clients and with the attorney’s all day, every day. Each case that goes through this firm is put through a triple check system to avoid any errors, exclusions, or issues that may arise in court. I am not making excuses, but as a person who has worked for attorneys, and hired attorneys for my own legal matters, I understand that phone calls and responses can often take a week or more; that is just the nature of the occupation. You won’t find better bankruptcy attorneys than the attorneys at Borowitz and Clark. I’m sorry for those of you who have had allegedly bad experiences. Perhaps a much more productive measure would be to be more pro-​active about your legal services instead of turning to Unilocal to air your dirty laundry when you don’t get the service that you think you should be getting. There are always two sides to every story, and I know that The Law Offices of Borowitz & Clark, LLP have considerably more 5 star ratings that are unfortunately available for all to see on this highly manipulative website.

Erik Clark and Barry Borowitz are the named partners in the firm. They have a reputation of excellence throughout the Central District of California Bankruptcy Court and really with other lawyers and judges all over the country. I’m not sure about the other reviews, but the feedback sounds very uncharacteristic of what I know of them. These lawyers actually take the time to meet with clients themselves and truly care about their clients’ situations.

i posted a review few weeks ago and it got removed wthc? this law office is the best! nice staff, attys that are always ready to answer your questions… they are on top of everything and they addressed your needs pronto! Im soo glad i landed in this office when i was filing for BK, just waiting for my discharge! Thanks Borowitz and Clark! I will def refer my friends here!

I was very fortunate to have landed in this office. I love the staff and the atty’s were very helpful. They addressed your questions pronto. And they are on top of it all the time. They made sure that I get all my ducks in a row and that they addressed whatever issues i had. On the day of my hearing, I was so nervous becasue i didnt call the office when i was supposed to to confirm my hearing date. Anyway I went to the trustee hearing, arrived late, and my atty greeted me with a smile, went over some questions, and I felt that they were really there for me. My hearing went well! I was so happy… didn’t take more than 5 minutes to answere «yes or no» questions. I felt like a heavy load was lifted off me as i had been experiencing anxiety during this process. They still adress my questions even after my hearing. Im just waiting to get my discharge now. I highly recommend B&C law office when you are thinking of filing for BK. They’re the best!

While I was a client I had terrible misunderstanding with a firm representative, and they had dropped my case, at a time when I was desperate for help. My lawyer, Mr Clark, who not only cleared up the misunderstanding, but reassured me that we can work on the BK issues I was having.
The firm does exactly what you hire them for — a BK. SO if youre looking for a quick BK — this is your place! They retain all mandated court information, work their magic with the numbers and file for you. They will do it all as quickly as you can provide them with the necessary info. Its not easy, but I think its the courts that make it complicated. They need SO MUCH information from you. And when they schedule phone interviews to get the information from you, they fail to tell you exactly what youll need to know for the interview. I thought that was pretty crummy. Do not come here thinking they care about your personal issues, and will see what your best options are for your debt. I later learned elsewhere that I could have possibly avoided BK.
However, the staff is professional and all of your inquiries are responded to within 24 hours.
