Built on Conviction.
Proven in Court.

Bravo Law APC was built on a simple conviction: every person and every business deserves legal counsel that is both exceptionally skilled and genuinely honest. Founded in San Diego and rooted in the community we serve, our firm combines the tactical precision of seasoned litigators with the personal touch of attorneys who treat every client as an individual — not a case number.

Bravo brings over 20 years of experience representing clients across a wide range of industries, including technology, manufacturing, retail, real estate, construction, and entertainment. His deep familiarity with the legal challenges businesses face daily — from formation disputes to bankruptcy reorganization — means clients benefit from practical, battle-tested strategies rather than generic legal advice.

We hold an AVVO rating of 10.0 and have been recognized as a Super Lawyer — but the recognition we value most is the trust our clients place in us when it matters most.

Common Questions

Answers to Your Legal Questions

Chapter 7 discharges most unsecured debts through asset liquidation and is typically the fastest path to relief. Chapter 13 lets individuals with income keep their assets while repaying debts under a court-approved plan. Chapter 11 is designed for businesses that want to continue operating while restructuring significant debt. Attorney Bravo will evaluate your specific situation and recommend the most beneficial approach.

Qualification depends on factors such as your income, the type of debts you carry, and prior bankruptcy filings. Chapter 7 has income-based means test requirements, while Chapter 13 requires a regular income to fund a repayment plan. The best way to determine your eligibility is through a direct consultation with our attorneys.

In many cases, yes. California provides specific exemptions that may protect your home equity, vehicle, and other essential assets. Chapter 13 in particular is often used as a strategy to prevent foreclosure or repossession while catching up on missed payments. We'll review your full asset picture during your consultation.
