Independently ranked by our review of ratings, reviews and reputation · How we chose

A quick note before anything else: "licensed insolvency trustee" is a Canadian designation, regulated federally in Canada, and it does not exist as a credential in the United States. If you're searching for one in Los Angeles, what you actually need is a bankruptcy attorney or a credit/debt counseling firm, and the businesses below have logged over 3,300 Google reviews between them doing exactly that work.

Short answer: There is no licensed insolvency trustee credential in Los Angeles or anywhere in the US; it's specific to Canada. The closest US equivalents are bankruptcy attorneys and credit counseling agencies. American Consumer Credit Counseling, Inc. leads this list with a 5.0 rating across 1,449 reviews, and The Attorney Group is a 4.9-rated bankruptcy law firm with 636 reviews if you need legal representation rather than counseling.

How we rank these

Rating is the live Google average for each firm. Review volume shows how many clients actually left one, and we weigh the two together so a perfect score built on a small sample doesn’t outrank one built on hundreds or thousands. No firm can pay to change these numbers or its position on this page.

What does bankruptcy or debt help cost in Los Angeles? (2026)

Costs vary widely by whether you need counseling, credit repair, or a full attorney-led bankruptcy filing, and by whether it’s a personal or business case. Get a specific quote from the firm directly before committing, since court filing fees and attorney fees are set independently of any of these companies.

Serving all of Los Angeles

These firms are based downtown, in Westwood, and in Glendale, and most work by phone and video consultation as well as in person, so location in the LA area matters less than which service actually fits your situation.

What to ask before hiring a debt relief firm or bankruptcy attorney

  • Is this firm a law firm, a credit counseling agency, or a document preparation service, and which do I actually need?
  • What are the total fees, including court filing costs, and is it a flat fee or hourly?
  • Will an actual attorney handle my case, or will I mostly deal with paralegals and staff?
  • How long does a typical case take from start to discharge?
  • What happens to my credit report and score during and after the process?

Frequently asked questions

Is there such a thing as a licensed insolvency trustee in Los Angeles?

No. Licensed insolvency trustee is a Canadian federal designation regulated by Canada’s Office of the Superintendent of Bankruptcy. The US has no equivalent credential; the closest roles are bankruptcy attorneys, who represent clients in federal bankruptcy court, and credit or debt counseling agencies, who provide the counseling courses required before filing.

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from public Google data. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner (badge and top placement), but that never changes another business’s score or position.

How did you choose these businesses?

We looked for the closest real US equivalents to the search term, which is bankruptcy attorneys and debt/credit counseling firms operating in Los Angeles, then ranked by rating weighted against review volume.

Do I need a lawyer to file for bankruptcy in Los Angeles?

You can file without one, but firms like The Attorney Group and Wadhwani & Shanfeld handle the legal filing and court process, which most people find easier than navigating it alone.

How often is this updated?

We refresh ratings and review counts periodically; this page reflects data verified in July 2026.

The bottom line

Skip the search for a “licensed insolvency trustee” here; it’s not a US credential. If you need counseling and a repayment plan, American Consumer Credit Counseling has the deepest track record on this page. If you need to actually file for bankruptcy, The Attorney Group and Wadhwani & Shanfeld are both attorney-led options with strong, high-volume ratings.
