Ryan helped me with my personal and private matter. He was very professional, reassuring and thorough about my circumstance. I will be recommending him to EVERYONE. Thank you SO much Ryan!

My once low-interest-rate payment on my credit card spiraled out of control; they started charging over 22% interest monthly on my cards. I tried and tried to make all the payments until I realized this is an uphill battle that is getting worse each month. I reached the point that I did not have enough money monthly to pay them now. I called my creditors asked them if they could lower the interest rate back to the 6.99% or lower than what it is currently; explained that I was struggling to make the payments at this time; all I heard was No we cannot do that. I must say, I was so worried about the thought of filing bankruptcy. I was scared and I felt bad to have to do this to my creditors but they were not willing to work with me. I then decided to research bankruptcy attorneys. I called a few many had a recording asking me to leave a message, during my search online I came across The Law Offices of Lin & Wood they have an office in Redwood City and Fremont. I live in Hayward so the Fremont office worked for me. I then went on the Better Business Bureau website to see if they were an Accredited Business and if they had any complaints filed against them? I also wanted to see the rating giving to them by the Better Business Bureau. I was thrilled to see they were Accredited and holds an A+ rating; I felt good knowing this information. I guess my biggest concern was if I was going to file I needed to feel comfortable with the law firm that would walk me through this huge endeavor I was about to undertake financially. I was confident with their BBB A+rating I located the best firm in the east bay. My first attempt calling the office Mr. Ryan Wood answered the phone; I explained my situation and the urgency to get this started. He listened without interrupting me, when I stopped he started providing me with the needed information. He also squeezed me into his schedule the same day I was truly impressed. I met with him he explained everything in a way that was easy for me to understand what was going to happen step by step. I retained him that day; he instructed me to gather the latest invoice for all my credit cards as well as any other debt I am obligated to pay then turn it into him. He informed me I had to fill out a monthly expense sheet that he would provide; this expense sheet assists him in determining what type of bankruptcy would be best for me to file chapter 13 or 7. I have to admit Mr. Ryan wood told me the truth; each step happened just like he said they would. I am pleased to say I now live comfortably without worrying how am I going to pay my bills any longer and I do not have any creditors sending me letters or calling my phone or work. He does allow you some time I believe it was 60 days to pay the full down; he explained the case would be on hold not being worked until they received the full down payment. I decided I needed to pay this now to get the ball rolling even if I had to borrow it; I didn't want any wage garnishments to start? I did pay it in full within a day; three months later I met him at the courthouse in Oakland; shortly following the court appearance my bankruptcy case was done. Thanks to Mr. Ryan Wood I am now living a stress-free life. He is truly the best and has a vast amount of experience in bankruptcy law!! You're in good hands if you retain him. I hope this review helps calm your nerves; I know how nervous I was at the beginning stages. Good luck!

I love The Law Offices of Lin & Wood! Very professional and more importantly very trustworthy. Thank you so much Ryan!

West coats Bankruptcy Attorneys have been great help. I was informed this month that my bk was discharged after converting. We have worked with Ryan for the past 3-4 years and Ryan was very patient with me as he required documentation and I consistently had to go through hopes to get my documents as my documentation was not in a conventional format typically. What I like about Ryan is that he understood the value of me owning my family home since 1996, almost 20 years and there was a need to maintain the property in this unstable economy. Finally I feel we have the head start we need to start again and by the grace of God Ryan and West Coast Bankruptcy was there to assist me and my family. Thanks Ryan I appreciated your help.

I have known and worked with Ryan since July, 2010 and you can not find a more dedicated, honest and hard working attorney. Ryan is very knowledgeable in estate planning, family law and many other aspects of the law.

I think if you need a good lawyer, you will agree that Ryan Wood in the Law Offices of Lin & Wood will do a fine job of representing you in your various legal needs.

Filing for Bankruptcy is a very negative part of anyone's life, but I feel that my experience working through it was really positive. Ryan Wood took the time to explain things clearly, and set me up to know what to expect through each step of my bankruptcy process. He was very honest and sincere. He helped me to weigh all of my options. Everything that he prepared me for up front was accurate and everything he promised he followed through with.

This is just a short note to give a bit of feedback in regards to my experience with THE LAW OFFICE OF LIN & WOOD. I called your office due to information that I received from a bill collector saying I owed a debt that I was not responsible for. The collection agent was very rude on the phone and frightened me. I called your office immediately, and Kitty answered the phone. She was very nice and comforted me by telling me what my legal rights were. I did not want to have to pay for a debt that I was not responsible for, but I had limited financial resources to fight back against this unfair court judgment that was entered against me. I was about to just pay what they were saying I owed just to make it go away. Luckily, I talked to Ryan. I sent him all the information I had regarding the case / debt. He contacted the courts and filed the necessary paperwork for me to have the judgment dismissed. I am so grateful for the work that your law firm did to get the judge to issue an order to dismiss the unfair judgment against me. Without your reasonable fees for your services, I would not have been able to defend myself against the huge corporation that sued me. People like you two give me hope for the human race. I genuinely tell you – THANK YOU!

Bankruptcy really was my last resort. Ryan at The Law Offices of Lin & Wood put me at ease and explained exactly what should take place. I was worried about a number of things, but he told me to just tell the truth and everything would be fine. Everything was. The telephone calls stopped and a couple of months after the court appearance I received my order of discharge. I really appreciated his quick responses to my questions. I highly recommend them if you are having problems with your debts. Mr. Wood’s business card and their website says personal service for a reasonable fee. I can say they backed that up. Thanks again . . . . .
