Contact the Debt Relief Legal Clinic Today

The Debt Relief Legal Clinic was started in 1975 by attorney George Ritner, to help people throughout Southern California and San Diego County find the right legal solution to their debt. In July of 2000, after being an associate at the firm since 1989, attorney John C. Colwell became the owner of our firm. Since that time, we have become the first and largest filer of electronic consumer bankruptcies in San Diego County bankruptcy courts. With locations in San Diego, Bonita and Vista, we are accessible throughout the county.

We are a family oriented business, dedicated to helping you get relief from debt. We have seen too many marriages fail because of stress from debt. When your worry about debt repayment controls your life, we will listen to your situation and suggest solutions.

Our Practice

As a debt relief agency, our goal is to help you find the right solution to your debt. Sometimes, filing for bankruptcy is the best option. Other times, alternatives such as debt negotiation or debt consolidation are more effective. Taking a look at your options and goals for the future, we will help you come up with the plan that is best suited to your needs:

We will debunk the myths about bankruptcy, explain the benefits, and answer any questions you may have about the entire process.
