Bankruptcy

Filing bankruptcy isn’t as simple as some make it sound. There are multiple chapters in bankruptcy that are available to you and the bankruptcy code is difficult to understand.  You need a trained and experienced professional to guide you through this very complex process.  Regardless of the chapter under which you may file, you will be required to gather financial records and agreements dating back many years. You may also be required to pass a financial means test to determine whether you qualify for bankruptcy relief.  In the event of disqualification, you may be required to petition the bankruptcy court to allow you to file for Chapter 13 relief that will enable to you restructure your debt and enter a payment plan with your creditors. Whatever the situation, the attorneys at Farris & Utley, PC will handle every aspect of your bankruptcy petition, from the initial meeting, to the record gathering, completing the bankruptcy petition, attending the 341 meeting and to attending any court hearings that may arise.  We are here every step of the way through this difficult time!

Initial Hiring

Upon retaining the attorneys at Farris & Utley, PC to represent you through this process, you have the right to tell your creditors to stop harassing you and to contact your lawyer!  Your creditors will then be required by law to direct all communication to our office.

The Petition

Our firm will handle everything about the initial petition. A legal petition for bankruptcy can be as long as 50 pages and require financial details that are confusing and frustrating.  As such, there is a lot of information that will be required of you.  Our attorneys are present to answer all your questions and to make sure that all of the information required is obtained and properly placed in the bankruptcy petition.  We don’t stop assisting you until everything is exactly right.  The Court won’t make mistakes, and neither do we.  Hiring a professional and experienced bankruptcy attorney to properly prepare the petition is vital to the success of your case.

The 341 Hearing

Upon the filing of the bankruptcy petition, a trustee is assigned to your case to ensure the bankruptcy petition is accurate and complete and to ensure your creditors’ best interests are being protected.  Accordingly, you will be required to attend a meeting with the assigned trustee within 4 to 6 weeks of the filing of the bankruptcy petition.   In this meeting, you will be asked to answer questions from the trustee directly.  Don’t worry, our attorney’s will explain the purpose of this meeting and will attend this meeting with you!  It is likely that the only time you will be required to appear in court is at your 341 hearing. In most cases, the 341 hearing is simply a formality to approve the final discharge of the debt (Chapter 7) or the final restructuring of a court-supervised repayment plan (Chapter 13).
