BANKRUPTCY

The first step in a bankruptcy case is the initial consultation with an attorney and a paralegal, usually Tom Abbott or Kevin Paysinger. There is no cost or obligation for this first visit, which normally lasts 45 minutes to an hour. We will take a detailed look at your situation, your rights and options will be explained, and we will help you come up with a plan of action.

If you decide to retain us to represent you, your next appointment will be with the Bookkeeping Department, to pay the down payment and open a file. After your case is opened, if you have problems with your bill, Linda McDill will be glad to help.

Your next stop will be with the paralegal that will file your case. The paralegal you meet with will be your point of contact in our office through the life of your bankruptcy. If you file a Chapter 7, your paralegal will be Debra Varriano. If you file a Chapter 13, your paralegal will be Steve Scheck.

You will need to come to the Federal Courthouse about 40 days after filing your bankruptcy for the Meeting of Creditors (also called the 341 Meeting). One of our attorneys will be with you at the meeting. If you are in a Chapter 13, there will be another court appearance for you shortly after the Meeting of Creditors.

You will find our employees
friendly, experienced and professional.
We look forward to helping you.
