I am Orange County Bankruptcy Attorney, Michael D. Franco.

I know what I’m doing and I’m good at it. I have had the pleasure to help 1,000’s of individuals, couples and businesses get through their financial crisis and then watch them afterwards embrace a better, brighter future. 

Bankruptcy is all I do. No need to be anxious. Let's see if bankruptcy makes sense for you!  

I offer FREE phone or office consultations.  I will personally review your situation. I will not hand you off to staff, a paralegal or a junior lawyer. You will speak only with me.

I am a “CERTIFIED SPECIALIST” in Bankruptcy Law. I earned that designation in 2013. Very few California attorneys have earned the distinction as Certified Specialists in their focused practice area. 

All my education, all my efforts, all my talents are focused on helping people solve their financial dilemmas.
