About Benjamin
Benjamin Shein completed his undergraduate studies at the University of Southern California, earning a B.S. in Business Administration with a concentration in finance in 1998. He went on to law school at Baylor, receiving his J.D. in 2007. The combination of a business background and legal training set an early course toward matters where financial and legal issues intersect.
After law school, Shein spent time in the public sector. In 2009 he served as a staff lawyer in the Office of the Chapter 13 Trustee. That role placed him on the trustee side of bankruptcy practice, reviewing plans, claims, and creditor interactions. He worked day-to-day with bankruptcy filings and observed how trustee recommendations shape case outcomes. The following year he moved into private practice and, beginning in 2010, has been associated with Shein Law Group, PC.
Shein’s work has stayed closely tied to bankruptcy and insolvency matters. His time at the Chapter 13 trustee’s office gave him a practical view of how bankruptcy courts evaluate repayment plans and the documentation parties present. In private practice he applies that perspective to advising clients, preparing filings and negotiating with creditors. He retains memberships in professional organizations that reflect this area of practice, including the American Bankruptcy Institute, the California Bankruptcy Forum and the Central California Bankruptcy Association. He is also a member of the USC Alumni Association.
Admitted to practice in California and the District of Columbia, Shein combines the procedural familiarity of a former trustee’s office lawyer with the demands of running cases in private practice. Colleagues note that experience on both sides of bankruptcy matters can affect strategy and expectations in court. He manages filings, creditor communications and plan negotiations through Shein Law Group, PC, where he has practiced since 2010. He currently practices bankruptcy law at Shein Law Group, PC.
