The Step by Step Process of Chapter 7 Bankruptcy
- Your Chapter 7 bankruptcy process starts the moment you walk into our office for your free initial consultation. During our meeting, our experienced attorneys will take a close look at your documents and will let you know if you are eligible for a Chapter 7 bankruptcy. If you are earning too much income and cannot qualify for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, we’ll advise you of your rights under a Chapter 13 bankruptcy. In this session, we’ll also inform you about our transparent and modest legal fees, so you are clear about our prices.
- The next step is the bankruptcy means test, which you have to clear to qualify under Chapter 7. While an overwhelming majority of our clients filing for bankruptcy clear this test easily, we’ll give you additional options and guidance just in case you fail the test.
- Once you are clear to file for bankruptcy under Chapter 7, we’ll help you complete all the necessary paperwork. As your bankruptcy attorney, we will make sure to complete all the required documents before filing your case.
- We’ll appear at the court with you at the initial hearing. Before the hearing, we’ll brief you on what to expect and the types of questions asked.
- You’ll be required by law to take a credit counseling class. We’ll help you get enrolled and fulfill this requirement. It is easy and can be done either online or over the phone.
- Chicago bankruptcy law offers many exemptions. We’ll make sure that you retain your assets that are below the specified limits.
- There will be a second counseling session required at the end of the process. We will help you get enrolled and fulfill this request.
