GET DEBT RELIEF NOW!
FIVE STEPS = DEBT-FREE LIFE!!!
STEP 1 – FREE CONSULTATION – LEARN ABOUT DEBT RELIEF NOW!
Talk to a lawyer for free! No need to leave your home or office yet. Just leave your number and you’ll get called back. You can come into the office to meet in person, or you can complete your bankruptcy via Zoom video conference call. Click here for answers to the most frequently asked bankruptcy questions (FAQ).
STEP 2 – CONSULTATIONS & DOCUMENT UPLOADS
At the initial consultation, we’ll figure out whether or not the law will allow you to keep most of your things. The assets of most people considering bankruptcy fall within the boundaries of what is called “exempt property”. Exempt property is the stuff you are allowed to keep in bankruptcy. Click here to see a comprehensive list of the types and the amount of things protected under Colorado law. Once we are representing you, you can tell creditors to leave you alone. We will normally schedule a second longer video consultation, at which you will bring certain required documentation. You’ll upload some documents by email so that we can complete your paperwork. We’ll draft your Petition for Bankruptcy and send it to you for review.
STEP 3 – REVIEW COMPLETED PETITION & SIGN IT
You need to take the first of two court-mandated courses in personal finance before we file your case. We’ll need the official course completion certificate to file with the court. Assuming that the paperwork you get is correct, you’ll approve it. We’ll email you an attachment, containing six signature pages you’ll need to print out. That’s because the court requires a pen & ink signature on those pages. Those six pages are the only physical documents we’ll normally ever need from you. You’ll send them back via first class mail. All court filings are now electronic, but we still must get those pen & ink signed pages back. It is a court rule.
STEP 4 – TAKE ANOTHER FINANCE COURSE AND ATTEND A SHORT INTERVIEW
After your case is filed at the US Bankruptcy Court, you’ll get a document entitled “Notice of Section 341 Meeting”. In it, the Court will notify you if the time and a date for either a Zoom video conference call or a plain voice-based telephone conference call (depending on the county in which you live). You’ll need to take the second of the two mandatory finance courses before that meeting. Again, we’ll need confirmation of completion for filing with the Court. At the 341 hearing, you’ll be interviewed by the US Trustee’s Office. The trustee will ask a few simple questions. It will be over, perhaps, about 10 minutes or so after it starts. Mr. Goodman will attends this meeting with you, just as he once did in the physical courtrooms of yesteryear.
STEP 5 – WAIT FOR YOUR BANKRUPTCY DISCHARGE
After the 341 Meeting, it is a waiting game. You don’t ordinarily have to do anything else. A few months later, you will receive a paper titled “Discharge in Bankruptcy”. That ends the process and clears your debts, fully and finally. You’ll be good to go, ready to live a new debt-free life!
