James Selth

Attorney James R. Selth is recognized as one of the leading consumer and small-business bankruptcy attorneys in Southern California, and is a State Bar Certified Legal Specialist in bankruptcy law. In 2015, Mr. Selth was appointed to a four-year term as a Commissioner to the State Bar's Bankruptcy Law Advisory Commission. He represents debtors and creditors in a variety of matters including consumer and small business bankruptcies, debt negotiation, Chapter 11 reorganization, out-of-court workouts, lien stripping, collections, consumer protection and contracts. After law school and before entering private practice, Mr. Selth served as a Deputy District Attorney in Orange County for two years.

Mr. Selth's hands-on approach to each of his cases and dedication to the highest level of client satisfaction has helped hundreds of clients emerge from bankruptcy with the goal of a discharge and “fresh start” accomplished. Many of Weintraub & Selth’s clients have successfully completed a Chapter 7 bankruptcy and received their discharge even after other attorneys told them they did not qualify for Chapter 7.

Mr. Selth is a partner in the Los Angeles, California, firm of Weintraub Zolkin Talerico & Selth LLP. He is admitted to practice in all courts in the state of California.
