Proven, Practical Divorce and Debt Relief Counsel

Experienced Family Law and Bankruptcy Attorneys in San Diego

Life is unpredictable. Sometimes it is downright cruel and overwhelming, despite your most determined efforts to manage it. Helping you regain perspective and control after a serious setback or difficult period — by finding the most practical, cost-effective legal solution — is what we are all about at the Law Offices of Samuel S. Godkin & Associates.

If you are dealing with a divorce, or if too much debt has caused you to contemplate bankruptcy, contact us for competent counsel who will give you an honest and ethical opinion about what to do next. We understand that the issues of bankruptcy and divorce often go hand in hand. In fact, one of the primary factors in leading to bankruptcy filings is the dissolution of a marriage.

Practical Divorce and Bankruptcy Representation

Attorney Samuel Godkin has been practicing law in the San Diego, California, area since 1996, with a constant focus on two legal areas that can impact all kinds of people: family law and bankruptcy. He helps people across the full economic and cultural landscape, working with a strong circle of other lawyers and experts when necessary.

Attorney Godkin believes in focusing his law practice on a few areas to ensure that he can provide the competent and experienced legal guidance that his clients deserve. There are lawyers who love to go to court because the fees pile up fast in a contested case. Some are aggressive in bringing conflict to a head, whether or not that is in your best interest. Others are passive about offering guidance on tough issues. These are some of the traits and patterns we avoid.

We See the Big Picture and Strive to Keep Legal Costs Down

Mr. Godkin, and other attorneys with whom he works, share a passion for big-picture problem solving. That means we will:

• Objectively evaluate your case when it comes to determining which issues to pursue aggressively and which issues are not worth your time or money
• Be analytical and objective as we find ways to accomplish what you want while keeping costs down
• Maintain a focus on helping you get through a crisis and start putting your life back in order

In divorce and other family law matters, we drive toward fair, constructive settlements through negotiation or mediation whenever possible. If excessive debt is your problem, we can help you find the best solution — often a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy filing — and execute it with maximum efficiency.

At Godkin & Associates, we believe in handling your case the right way from the outset, on the principle that if it's worth doing, it's worth doing right the first time. Call or e-mail us today for a personal consultation focused squarely on your problems and priorities.

We are a debt relief agency. We help people file for bankruptcy relief under the Bankruptcy Code.
