Welcome to Rinne Legal

San Francisco-Bay Area Bankruptcy Attorney

As a Bankruptcy lawyer based in Walnut Creek with offices in Fairfield and Sacramento we serve clients with their financial needs in the related counties of Contra Costa, Alameda and Solano. Being bankruptcy attorneys in Northern California we are intimately familiar with the credit card and foreclosure problems in these areas. Bankruptcy filings have been on the rise especially because of the high unemployment and of credit card companies recently increasing people's interest rates and lowering their limits.

We are chapter 7 and chapter 13 bankruptcy attorneys. We also have an expertise in Loan Modifications and Foreclosure Prevention tools.

Sustainable Advocacy

Rinne Legal was founded by Walnut Creek Attorney Michael Rinne, who after working for several law firms followed his vision to create a group of like-minded lawyers who want to make a positive impact through the practice of law.

San Francisco Estate Planning Attorney

Our firm has an Estate Planning department offering Estate Planning through the drafting of trusts such as a revocable trust, also known as living trust, special needs trust, Q–tip trusts etc. With a living trust our clients avoid the costs and hassles of probate. Probate can reduce the estate of up to 10% and it often takes years for the beneficiaries to receive their share in a normal probate process. The living trust also known as revocable trust enjoys more and more popularity because it avoids the problems of wills and of probate. You can protect your family and your assets by setting up a living trust. You can also determine who shall take care of your minor children should something happen to you. This is being accomplished by setting up a guardianship provision. With an Advanced Health Care Directive a client can lay out his/her wishes, should something happen to the client. If medical decisions have to be made without the client having the ability to utter his/her will the Advance Health Care Directive will be honored by the doctors. As a Contra Costa trust attorney I will guide you through the process of setting up the trust and advise you on the legal aspects.
