We are committed to providing you the best bankruptcy experience for a reasonable fee.
Your wages can no longer be garnished as soon as your bankruptcy case is filed. The automatic stay prevents creditors from continuing any type of collection action including garnishment. If the bankruptcy case is filed soon after your wages are initially garnished the money will be returned to you. To file bankruptcy we will need all of our attorney fees paid in full before a Chapter 7 case is filed and a portion of the attorney fees paid upfront if a Chapter 13 case is filed. We will also need a number of documents from you such as pay statement or proof of income, multiple years of tax returns, bank account statements, credit card statements and other applicable documents depending upon your financial circumstances.
After the case is filed we will also now know the date and time of the 341 meeting of the creditors. This should be the one appearance you need to make. The meeting of the creditors is administered by the trustee assigned to your case. It is not with a judge or in a courtroom, but there are a number of formalities. You will be sworn it under penalty of perjury and the meeting is tape recorded. Of course we appear with you to make sure everything goes smoothly and if the trustee needs any additional information they are provided it as soon as possible. After conclusion of the meeting of the creditors the deadline for any creditors to object to discharge of their debts must pass and then the bankruptcy court can enter the order discharging your debts and close the case.
During your free consultation we will discuss your income, expenses and assets to determine if you qualify to file a Chapter 7 bankruptcy or if we need to file a chapter 13 bankruptcy case to help you. Call us toll free at 1-877-963-9543 to schedule a free consultation.
