About
Carl R. Gustafson is a Certified Bankruptcy Law Specialist with the California Board of Legal Specialization! In 2003, Carl graduated from UCLA Magna Cum Laude with a Bachelors in History. In 2005, he was a legal intern for Global Justice in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where he drafted sections of human rights situation reports and submitted them to the United Nations and other international bodies. He also researched issues of international jurisdiction and the enforcement of international treaties. Carl went on to graduate with honors from the University of California, Berkeley School of Law in 2007, where he was also an associate editor for the Ecological Law Quarterly. It was Carl's yearning to right wrongs and preventing injustice that made law his calling. When Carl lived in Brazil he enjoyed the sights and playing pickup sports on the beach, but he was also witness to a cold reality: one of corruption and injustice. Carl has a passion for consumer rights. "It made me angry to see people get ripped off," said Carl. "I feel like we are hitting the big guys. We are punching back and making them pay for all the bets they thought they wouldn't get caught in." The confidence and ease of Carl is born of experience that is well beyond his years. He started working with bankruptcy in 2003 when he graduated from UCLA. Carl opened the Lincoln Law California offices and focuses his practice exclusively on bankruptcy law in the East Bay area. In August 2011, Carl was a presenter panelist on Practising Law Institute's seminar and webcast "Chapter 13 Bankruptcy: Its Value and How It Benefits Low-Income Debtors."Contact me!New Extended Customer Service Hours!

"Great service and very knowledgeable and helpful through the process!" Thank You
I found Carl on a Google search and really felt comfortable during my consultation he even offered to talk to my fiance with me to tell her I was thinking of filing. Carl and his team were very upfront and honest and made me feel ok about everything. I worked with Richard and we set me up on a simple path to follow to allow me to be successful. It's not a easy thing to go through but the whole staff were very kind and helpful. Thank you so much!
Mr Gustafson and His team at Lincoln Law were wonderful. After i paid a deposit to retain him i immediately got into a monthly payment plan which was very reasonable. I Recieved great support during the process and right before filing. As soon as i retained Him all my creditor calls stopped and i hardly had to do anything stressful. His team was a great support to me and they made my banrupcy case very smooth always providing me with great advice and step by step instructions. I would STRONGLY recommend Lincoln Law for anyone wishing to file bankruptcy. This organization is very professional, caring and provides exceptional service!!!
They say what they do, and they do what they say. I am amazed at the prudent advice of my Attorney Carl (and Attorney Richard), and the technology this Lincoln Law office deployed to align itself with the hi-tech world in this 2020 decade (text, email, cloud storage, etc.). You have your own domain to find out the status of your Case at anytime. I communicate with this office using my cell phone only. I only use my laptop for the two courses required in BK filing. My Attorney(s) savvied the paths from the Court so I may have a smooth sailing throughout my Case. His/their advice brings my Case to a successful completion without any bumps along the way. I sincerely thank Attorney Carl (and Attorney Richard plus all Paralegals and staff) at Lincoln Law office, and highly recommend him/Lincoln Law office to anyone. I was going to end this Review by saying Good Luck but you don't need luck, you need his/their expertise. Andy
The people at Lincoln Law are very kind and helpful. I am deaf and they were patient with me and handled my case with a great professionalism and kept me well informed. Everything went smoothly and without any problems. I highly recommend this firm.
I had filed my bankruptcy about a month ago and today I had my 341 bankruptcy court meeting. I was so nerves but my lawyer and his office staff told me not to worry and everything will be fine. So, when I went in to see the judge with my lawyer Carl by my side, I felt a little nerves and when my hearing started. It was so easy!!! I mean the questions they asked me was yes or no questions even a child could pass it. Just be honest with the judge and your court hearing will go by with flying colors. So, Now I'm debt free and I am a "HAPPY CLIENT"... Thank you Carl and Lincoln Law staff you are the best. I can now sleep better at night... SO, IF ANYONE IS LOOKING FOR A BANKRUPTCY LAWYER CALL THESE GUYS CUSS THEY ARE THE BEST AND IT WAS AN EASY PROCESS...
His team is awesome! They were patient and kind....they were with me step by step by step!
Carl Gustafson at Lincoln Law helped us with our bankruptcy case. He did a great job and put us at ease since we were very nervous and stressed out. We have never been in a situation like this but Carl and his staff were very profesional and made it seamless on every step of the way. I really appreciated that at first he looked at our case and looked for other options, but at the end, the best option was Chapter 13 bankruptcy. He was with us all the way and we never felt abandoned or forgotten in the midst of other clientele. Thanks Carl and staff for all your support and made us feel that we still have a second chance! God Bless!
Carl and his staff took the stress out of a very stressful decision. We were totally prepared at my court hearing. It was obvious not everyone who had a hearing on the same day was. It went quickly and smoothly.
I had an awesome experience. It was a difficult decision to file bankruptcy, but once I made my appointment, I knew it was going to be alright. Everyone was very professional, friendly, organized, and have they latest technology. It was stress free because they let you know what is needed. I recommend them to everyone who needs a great attorney, Carl and his staff are wonderful.
