Pasadena, CA (PRWEB) June 10, 2008 -- Larry D. Simons announces the formation of the Law Offices of Larry D. Simons, located in Pasadena, California. The Firm is located at 225 South Lake Avenue, Suite 300, Pasadena, California. Its phone number is 626.432.5406 and its website is http://www.lsimonslaw.com.

The Firm will also represent individuals and businesses as creditors in any bankruptcy proceeding. Lastly, the Firm will represent parties involved in adversary proceedings pending before the Bankruptcy Court. The Firm offers a free initial consultation to prospective clients.

Most of the Firm's debtor clients seek bankruptcy relief due to either a high amount of debt, usually credit cards or medical bills or to save their real property from a pending foreclosure.

Simons, principal of the Firm.
