Silldorf & Levine, LLP Expands Practice Into Bankruptcy

SAN DIEGO, June 24 /PRNewswire/ -- Silldorf & Levine, LLP is a boutique civil
litigation law firm headquartered in San Diego, California. The firm
concentrates their practice on complex civil litigation and recently announced
a joint venture with Bankruptcy Attorney Jon Cooper. Mr. Cooper will be Of
Counsel to the firm where he is accepting new clients seeking representation
in the filing of Chapter 7, 11 and 13 bankruptcies. Firm partner Howard
Silldorf explains, "Due to a strong demand from our clients, Silldorf &
Levine, LLP has expanded its practice to represent consumers in the area of
bankruptcy."

Jon Cooper graduated Cum Laude from Thomas Jefferson School of Law in 2001.
He is a member of the National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys
and he is adept at all phases of the bankruptcy process. Mr. Cooper has
extensive civil litigation experience and he has handled all phases of
litigation. In addition to bankruptcy, his experience includes real estate,
business law and personal injury. Some of his past cases involved the
purchase and sale of a professional practice and the resolution of various
contract disputes. Mr. Cooper elaborates, "I am excited about joining forces
with Silldorf & Levine. This partnership will allow for better representation
of bankruptcy clients through more effective and efficient management of cases
and an expanded well-qualified support staff."

Bankruptcy is the process that provides consumers with the opportunity to
either eliminate (Chapter 7) or consolidate (Chapter 13) debt. Silldorf &
Levine, LLP has always been a firm centered on consumer advocacy. This new
expansion into the bankruptcy arena will continue the firm's tradition of
representing consumers. The firm's focus will be on consumer advocacy and
offering clients relief from debt and a path on the road back to financial
freedom.

Filing for bankruptcy no longer has a negative stigma. In fact, over 900,000
non-business bankruptcy petitions were filed between June 2007 and June 2008.
Approximately 90,000 of those petitions were filed in the state of California.
In Southern California alone, the number of filings increased nearly 70%
between 2007 and 2008. The sharp increase in the rate of Americans filing for
bankruptcy is inversely correlated with the declining economy. Many
individuals are finding themselves struggling under the weight of mounting
debt. For some, the only way out is to file for bankruptcy.

Bankruptcy can be a powerful tool. It can provide individuals with a clean
slate and end the phone calls and letters from harassing creditors. The
choice to file bankruptcy is personal and depends on the unique facts of your
situation. It will be Silldorf & Levine's practice to understand the unique
facts of each client's situation and to take the time to carefully evaluate
the circumstances specific to each client's case.
