As we get closer to the end of this year, it appears that the number of Chapter 7 bankruptcy filings for the month of November 2009 have increased from October, continuing the upward trend for bankruptcy filings in Orange County this year.

Research done by a leading bankruptcy law firm concluded that Anaheim, Costa Mesa, Fullerton, Garden Grove, Huntington Beach, Irvine, Mission Viejo,  Newport Beach, Orange, and Santa Ana are the Orange County cities with the most chapter 7 bankruptcies filed.

Chapter 7 bankruptcy attorneys have also seen a high number of bankruptcies filed in Westminster, Tustin, Lake Forest, Buena Park and Aliso Viejo.
