Beginning the Process of Bankruptcy

One of the most important decisions to make regarding your bankruptcy is when to hire an experienced bankruptcy lawyer. We offer a free initial consultation where we can talk about your unique circumstances and figure out the best options to improve your financial situation. We will spell out all of the items that you will need to gather for filing and will let you know the benefits and consequences for filing in New York State.

Typically, you will need to gather any property deeds, vehicle titles, mortgage information, tax bills, pay stubs, W2 forms, tax returns and recent credit card statements. Our firm will send you a package of envelopes outlining precisely what is needed and allowing you to bring that information to us to begin the process of filing for bankruptcy.

We will also inform you of deadlines and obligations to attend a meeting of creditors or a bankruptcy hearing in your case. Your attorney will represent you in those meetings and will look after your rights and best interests.

Make the right decision by contacting us today and setting up an appointment. We will help stop creditor harassment and will begin to get your financial life back on track.
