"Very professional and personable. Would highly recommend to anyone needing legal services."

Carole Ann F.

I was a weepy mess when I first met with Mr. Yaldou, feeling quite overwhelmed, helpless and embarrassed at the thought of having to file for bankruptcy.

"Mr. Yaldou was comforting and reassuring, taking me under his wing much like a "big brother". He, Nick Chambers, Lisa Segur, and his entire legal staff were never too busy to answer my questions and respond to my emails throughout the entire (successful) bankruptcy process. Everyone was absolutely wonderful!!! If you're looking for a knowledgeable, top-notch legal team, then I highly recommend Yaldou Law."

"Did great job on my case was very helpful and knowledgeable he knew what he was doing call back at two maybe three times and still very helpful after the case was finished."

Mark W.

Bryan is an excellent attorney!

"He has an extremely, professional, knowledgable manner and yet is kind and understanding. He puts you immediately at ease and you feel free to talk to him about all the deepest and most embarrassing things without feeling like he is judging you, in fact that he understands and empathizes with you. He is very thorough and explains every step of the process and what to expect - both good and possible bad which I really liked because I don't like a rosy picture painted for me when a potentially bad situation might arise. I would highly recommend him...in fact - do yourself a favor and just go straight to him and forget shopping around as you won't find a better champion than Bryan! By the way, I had never met Bryan, just saw his sign and decided to stop - the best decision I ever made!"

"Attorney for life. He saved my home, organized all my debts into a manageable payment, eliminated a huge IRS debt, and it was all reasonably priced. He also cares, and that's hard to find. Thank you Bryan."

John B.

I highly recommend Bryan Yaldou and associates to help with your bankruptcy.

"I was out of work and on disability at the time that I filed for my bankruptcy...I filed it myself. I had garnishments that were taking 25% of my weekly paychecks. I couldn't afford to pay my bills, the garnishments, or hire an attorney. The trustee was wanting to garnish my paychecks to pay a large sum of money to a couple of the creditors. The whole reason for filing in the first place, was to stop the garnishments. When you live paycheck to paycheck, you can't afford anything more. Bryan and his associates saved me from losing everything. They lifted a huge weight off of my shoulders...I feel like I can finally breathe again. I'm so thankful and grateful for everything they have done on my behalf."

Late Payment of Wages

Everyone knows that they are owed their paychecks on their regular payday, but what happens if your employer does not pay you on time?

Frequently Asked Questions

Bankruptcy Law

When should I file for bankruptcy?

Filing a case depends on your situation. Discuss this with your bankruptcy attorney to determine the best time for you. Timing does matter. It can make a big difference in which debts you can discharge and which assets you can protect.

Can I keep my house if I file for bankruptcy?

In most circumstances, the answer is yes! An attorney can determine if there is any particular advantage to the type of bankruptcy you are eligible to file and how it could affect your property.

Can I be prevented from getting a job if I file bankruptcy?

No. The Bankruptcy Code prevents employers from discriminating against you when hiring.

Are credit counseling and debt negotiation and settlement viable options?

Although many people try to negotiate with their creditors, a voluntary agreement with your creditors does not force them to stop collection activities against you. Also, your debt can and often does accrue interest and penalties while in that process. Bankruptcy stops attempts to collect debts and in most cases freezes the amount you owe as of the date of the filing.

Employment Law

Does my employer have to pay me time-and-a-half when I work over 40 hours in a workweek?

It depends. The general rule in the United States is that if you work more than 40 hours in a week you should make one and one-half times your regular rate of pay.

My employer calls me an independent contractor and says they do not have to pay me one and one-half times my regular rate of pay for hours worked over 40 hours in a workweek. Is that legal?

While it’s true that independent contractors do not have to be paid one and one-half times their regular rate of pay, employers often misclassify employees as independent contractors.

My employer requires me to do work off-the-clock. Is that legal?

Probably not. Many situations where employees work off-the-clock are considered “compensable time.” That means employers must pay employees for the time they spend doing that work.

What can I recover under the Fair Labor Standards Act?

Under the Fair Labor Standards Act, you may be entitled to back wages, liquidated damages in an amount equal to your back wages, and attorneys’ fees and costs.
