About The Firm
A small, specialized law practice dedicated to representing the little guy.
A Different Kind of
Law Practice
The Somal Law Firm is a boutique legal practice based in Pleasanton, California, dedicated to providing personalized, high-quality legal representation to individuals and small businesses facing complex financial challenges.
We take on select clients to ensure each case receives the dedicated attention and advocacy it deserves. Our practice areas span Bankruptcy, Foreclosure Defense, Debt Settlement, and Tax Law — areas where people often feel overwhelmed and outmatched by large institutions.
Whether you're facing creditor harassment, the threat of losing your home, or a dispute with the IRS, we level the playing field and fight for the best possible outcome.
Bob Somal, Esq.
A DIFFERENT Kind of Lawyer
Bob believes that everyone is entitled to great legal representation and fights to ensure that he's the best fit for each particular prospective client who walks through his door.
"I'm very selective with the clients whom I choose to represent because the Attorney-Client relationship is so important. Like any relationship, it has to be a good fit for it to work and, ultimately, to get the results the Client is looking for." — Bob Somal, Esq.
Although his office mainly specializes in representing individuals and small businesses — "the little guy" — against large banks and creditors, Bob has been known to take on the occasional case outside of these areas of practice if it allows him to even up the playing field for "David" while doing battle against "Goliath".
Like we said, Bob is a DIFFERENT kind of lawyer.
