About Larry
Larry Simons earned his law degree from the University of the Pacific, McGeorge School of Law in 1995 after completing a Bachelor of Arts in history at California State University, Northridge in 1992. He entered the legal profession in the mid-1990s at a time when California's bankruptcy landscape was shifting. Those early years shaped his practice and his approach to bankruptcy cases.
He built a practice centered on bankruptcy law and later earned certification from the State Bar of California's Board of Legal Specialization in Bankruptcy Law. That credential marks a formal recognition of his work in the field. Over the years he has worked on matters involving consumer and business insolvency, and he has handled both routine filings and contested proceedings.
Simons has been active in bar and professional groups across the region. He serves on the board of the Inland Empire Bankruptcy Forum and maintains memberships in the San Fernando Valley Bar Association and the Los Angeles County Bar Association. Those affiliations keep him plugged into local developments and provide regular contact with other practitioners and judges.
He has operated a private practice under the name Law Offices of Larry D. Simons. There he acts as the principal attorney, guiding clients through Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 filings, advising on creditor/debtor rights, and managing related litigation in bankruptcy court. His practice handles both individual debtors and small businesses, providing case assessment, filing, negotiation with creditors, and representation at hearings.
Clients encounter Simons in courtrooms and in office consultations. He takes a practical approach to case evaluation. He explains options plainly and lays out likely outcomes. Colleagues describe him as steady in litigation and methodical in case preparation. His board certification is one among several professional signals he uses to communicate competence to prospective clients and referrals.
Beyond the courtroom, Simons contributes to local professional life through the Inland Empire Bankruptcy Forum and other bar association activities. He attends meetings, participates in panel discussions, and keeps current on changes to bankruptcy statutes and rules. That ongoing engagement informs his practice and his counseling of clients.
As of 2026 he continues to operate the Law Offices of Larry D. Simons in California, concentrating on bankruptcy matters for both individual and business clients.
