In response to the sweeping amendments to the Bankruptcy Code in 2005 Mr. Esbin co-authored a book with three other certified specialists as a practice guide for other attorneys on who to practice bankruptcy law under the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention Consumer Protection Act. Very well received, the Practice Guide sits on judges benches as equally as lawyers desks. He is also a contributing author on bankruptcy for the CEB publication, California Mortgage, Deed of Trust and Foreclosure Litigation, Fourth Edition, an authoritative treatise used by banks, judges, and lawyers alike. Mr. Esbin, as well, is known for several well cited appellate court decisions setting precedent on key bankruptcy issues for lawyers around the country.

His time is volunteered as one of Santa Clarita�s Community Court Judges.

Representation has included both sides of the creditor-debtor relationship, and nearly all parties in interest that may participate in either a bankruptcy case, bankruptcy litigation or state court litigation. Mr. Esbin assists corporate management and sole proprietorship clients in the course of assessing and minimizing risk and maximizing returns in regards to default situations and work out arrangements that may arise due to the current changes in interest rates and the (in)ability of borrowers to service loans while straining under increased household or business budget expenses.

Mr. Esbin believes that his responsibility is to be the emergency room surgeon of the economy, performing triage on clients to assist them in �seeing the forest from the trees� of economic despair and confusion - debtors and creditors.
