Understanding the Bankruptcy Process

If you are considering bankruptcy, it is important to understand the process and how it can provide you with the debt relief you need. At Jackson & Oglesby Law LLC, 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 brief overview of the bankruptcy process:

• Evaluation: Our team will evaluate your financial situation and help you determine if bankruptcy is the right solution for you. To create a personalized plan, we will assess your debts, assets, income, and expenses.
• Filing: Once you decide to proceed with bankruptcy, we will assist you in preparing and filing the necessary paperwork. We will ensure that all the required documents are accurate and submitted within the specified deadlines.
• Automatic Stay: As soon as your bankruptcy petition is filed, an automatic stay goes into effect. This means creditors must immediately stop all collection actions, including phone calls, lawsuits, wage garnishments, and foreclosure proceedings.
• Meeting of Creditors: Approximately 4-6 weeks after filing, you will attend a meeting of creditors, also known as a 341 meeting. This is a relatively informal meeting where the bankruptcy trustee and any creditors who choose to attend can ask you questions about your financial situation.
• Debt Discharge: If everything goes smoothly and there are no objections from creditors, you will receive a debt discharge. Your eligible debts are legally eliminated, giving you a fresh start.
