What Do I Need to Get Started with Bankruptcy?

Call and schedule an appointment to meet with us at one of our convenient locations. Our initial consultation is free. We will discuss your situation, and if bankruptcy is the right solution we will quote a flat fee to represent you from beginning to end. We will discuss any additional fees that could arise in difficult cases, so there will be no surprises.

Our standard Retainer Fee (deposit) is $300.00. Once you retain our services, we will open a file and begin to prepare your case for filing. You may also refer your bill collectors to us and we will inform them that we represent you. Most creditors will stop calling once they confirm our representation. We will provide you with a packet of useful information, including a checklist of all the documents you must provide. If you would like to get started right away, you should bring your most recent credit card statements and other bills. While a separate list can be helpful, we prefer to have the actual statements to ensure that notices are provided to the correct addresses. We will also require your most recent income tax returns, pay stubs for the past six months, and copies of your car titles. If you are unable to bring these documents to your first appointment, we will provide you with a complete checklist for your next appointment.

Following are copies of documents that will explain more about the bankruptcy process and also identify information I will require from you before your bankruptcy can be filed. You may open and print these documents for your convenience.
