Preparing for Your Consultation

File Bankruptcy in Your Area: Preparing for Your Consultation

If you are facing unmanageable debt, foreclosure, or bankruptcy, you deserve the support of a high-powered law firm backed by decades of experience. At Robert H. Solomon, PC, we offer free initial consultations because we want everyone to benefit from the years we have devoted to our practice.

At your consultation, we will assess your situation and answer any questions you may have. At every stage of the bankruptcy process, preparation is vital, and that preparation begins even before we meet.

The more information we have about your circumstances, the better equipped we are to provide thorough and personalized counsel. Every person’s situation requires a unique strategy, and we can only develop that strategy if we have a complete understanding of your finances.

Essential Documents to Bring for Your Consultation

  • Driver’s license or ID
  • Social Security Card
  • Credit card or other debt information
  • Owned property information (i.e. mortgage statement, vehicle title, etc.)
  • Last 2 years of income tax returns
  • 6 months of bank statements
  • 6 months of pay stubs (from both you and your spouse)

Feel free to bring any additional documentation you have that further demonstrates your financial situation (e.g. investment account statements, child support or alimony orders, insurance statements, promissory notes, correspondence with creditors, lawsuit notices, etc.).

While bringing paperwork will streamline our consultation, do not panic if you cannot find every document. We will prepare a list of additional information after our consultation to allow you to gather what you need.

Frequently Asked Questions About Bankruptcy

What types of bankruptcy can I file for?

There are several types of bankruptcy you may consider, including Chapter 7 and Chapter 13. Chapter 7 bankruptcy is often referred to as liquidation bankruptcy, where non-exempt assets may be sold to pay off debts. In contrast, Chapter 13 allows you to reorganize your debts and create a repayment plan over three to five years. The right choice for you will depend on your financial situation, income, and long-term goals. Our team will help you understand the differences and guide you in selecting the best option during your consultation.

How long does the bankruptcy process take?

The duration of the bankruptcy process can vary based on the type of bankruptcy you file and the complexity of your situation. Typically, Chapter 7 bankruptcy can be completed in about three to six months, while Chapter 13 may take three to five years due to the repayment plan involved. Factors such as the number of creditors, the amount of debt, and any disputes can also influence the timeline. Our firm will provide you with a clearer timeline during your consultation, ensuring you know what to expect at each stage of the process.
