Understanding the Bankruptcy Process

Going through the bankruptcy process can be overwhelming and confusing. At Sanchez Garrison & Associates, our experienced bankruptcy attorneys are here to guide you through every step of the process and ensure that you make informed decisions.

Here is a general overview of the bankruptcy process:

  1. Evaluation: Our attorneys will evaluate your financial situation and determine if bankruptcy is the right option for you. We will consider factors such as your income, assets, and debts.
  2. Filing: If bankruptcy is the best solution, we will help you prepare and file the necessary paperwork with the bankruptcy court. This includes gathering financial documents, completing forms, and submitting the petition.
  3. Automatic Stay: Once your bankruptcy petition is filed, an automatic stay goes into effect. This means that creditors must immediately stop all collection actions, including lawsuits, wage garnishments, and phone calls.
  4. Meeting of Creditors: Approximately 4-6 weeks after filing, you will attend a meeting of creditors. This is a relatively informal meeting where you will answer questions under oath from the bankruptcy trustee. Our attorneys will be by your side to ensure that your rights are protected.
  5. Debt Discharge: If everything goes smoothly and there are no objections from creditors, you will receive a debt discharge. This means that your eligible debts will be legally eliminated, giving you a fresh start.

It's important to note that every bankruptcy case is unique, and the process may vary depending on your specific circumstances. Our dedicated bankruptcy attorneys will provide personalized guidance and support throughout the entire process, helping you achieve financial freedom.
