Rivera Law Corporation

For years, Rivera Law Corporation has represented debtors in bankruptcy proceedings. Under federal law, bankruptcy protection is available to individuals and businesses, including sole proprietors and corporations. When a situation arises in which an individual or business is unable to pay the bills as they become due, bankruptcy is a legal proceeding that could provide relief from their creditors.

Law and compliance influences all areas of the corporate and business environment, and various complex legal challenges confront business owners and managers. At Rivera Law Corporation, we provide our clients with reliable and effective representation in legal matters that arise every day in the business context, including issues affecting entity status, commercial disputes, employment matters, partner and shareholder disputes, financing issues, business contracts, asset transactions, mergers and acquisitions, and corporate governance matters.

A crime is wrongful conduct defined by law as being punishable by imprisonment, a fine, or other penalty. Felonies are the more serious crimes, generally those involving physical force (such as homicide, kidnapping, and robbery), which may be punished by over a year of imprisonment or even death. Misdemeanors are less serious offenses that are punished by a fine, penalty, forfeiture, or imprisonment of a year or less. Depending on a state’s laws, misdemeanors may include trespassing, minor thefts, or first-time drug possession. Rivera Law Corporation has provided professional and diligent legal representation to criminal defendants in California. We have defended the rights and liberty of clients in a variety of felony and misdemeanor cases, ranging from complex white-collar and violent crimes to more simple matters involving drug possession and petty theft.

For years, Rivera Law Corporation has been providing legal support on a wide variety of issues related to real estate law. The term "real estate" relates to real property or land, along with anything permanently attached to the land, such as buildings, houses, and immovable property. Ownership of real estate means the ownership and right to use the land for legitimate purpose. Real estate law deals with everything and anything that is related to real property and involves regulations and laws for protection of real estate and governance of real estate related transactions.

For years, Rivera Law Corporation has represented clients in a variety of trusts and estates matters, including probate, gifts, estate planning, trust administration, intestacy matters, and will contests. The law of trusts and estates primarily involves the management of personal affairs and the disposition of a person's property after he or she has died or become incapacitated. A "trust" is a legal concept whereby a grantor transfers legal ownership of property to a trustee. Trust assets typically are managed for the benefit of one or more beneficiaries. An estate generally consists of the property that a person bequeaths to his or heirs after his/her death, which usually involves a testamentary instrument such as a will.
