• How much does it cost to hire Sennan for a bankruptcy case?

  Cost depends on the type of matter, the fee model (contingency, flat, hourly), and how contested the case becomes. Sennan walks through the likely range during the consult so there are no surprises.

• Does Sennan offer a free consultation?

  Sennan charges for the initial consult; that fee is credited toward representation if you retain Sennan's office. Some bankruptcy attorneys offer free consults — check Sennan's current terms during booking.

• How long do bankruptcy cases in California typically take?

  Simple bankruptcy matters can wrap in a few weeks; disputed cases can run 6–18 months from intake to resolution, longer if the matter goes to trial. Sennan gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Sennan take my case if I'm outside El Cajon?

  Sennan is licensed in California. Matters governed by California law are the natural fit. Out-of-state matters are handled case-by-case, sometimes with local co-counsel. Ask during intake — Sennan will tell you if the case is a fit or refer you to someone closer to your court.

• What should I bring to my first meeting with Sennan?

  Bring every document that touches the dispute: contracts, correspondence, police or medical reports, filed pleadings, invoices, photographs, insurance letters. Also bring a written timeline of what happened, in your own words. Sennan will filter what matters — over-preparing at intake is always cheaper than needing a second meeting.

• Is Sennan accepting new bankruptcy clients right now?

  Sennan's intake status shifts week to week. Submit the form; the office will confirm availability or refer the matter out.
