If you are an ordinary California renter, owning basic household goods and possessions, jewelry worth $3,000, a car with $5,000 in equity, a 401k worth $50,000, and $10,000 of good old cash in the bank – ALL WOULD BE EXEMPT.

The important thing is to consult with a Bay Area bankruptcy attorney to:

1. Minimize the amount you have to pay to creditors.

2. Maximize the property you get to keep.
