Jonathan Ellowitz

Southern California attorney Jonathan Ellowitz dedicates himself to helping clients in financial distress obtain the debt relief they need to move forward with their futures. Jonathan Ellowitz has been practicing law for over 30 years. He received his Juris Doctorate from the Southwestern University School of Law in Los Angeles, and in 1994, earned certification as a bankruptcy specialist from California’s Board of Legal Specialization. This certification requires a minimum of three years of experience and a positive evaluation from judges and attorneys in the field as well as a commitment to ongoing professional education on bankruptcy-related topics.

As a sole practitioner, Jonathan Ellowitz handles all of his cases personally. His clients can begin their relationship with him either with a free telephone consultation or via email, with a follow-up in-person meeting. He adjusts his schedule for clients’ convenience, even meeting with them on evenings and weekends if requested. In addition to this level of personal service, Ellowitz is proud to report that his rates are no higher than those of larger, more impersonal firms.

Initially, Ellowitz gathers information from his clients to determine whether bankruptcy is their best course of action and, if it is, which of the several categories of bankruptcy is most appropriate. Together, he and the client discuss all aspects of the situation, including the client’s income and any assets the client possesses. Throughout the bankruptcy process, Ellowitz offers advice and support, which can be very welcome as bankruptcy is typically an emotionally trying time in the client’s life. He encourages his clients to take advantage of the legal protections that are available without feeling stigmatized by their financial situations. Jonathan Ellowitz offers several types of bankruptcy services. For individuals, he offers either Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 personal bankruptcy assistance. For business clients, he offers help with Chapter 7 business bankruptcy. Ellowitz’s office is located in Newport Beach, California, and his clients come
