Filing for bankruptcy protection is no easy decision. Determining what type of bankruptcy is best for you — or your business — can be even more complicated.

How The Bankruptcy Process Works In Arlington

Many people are unsure what actually happens after they decide to move forward with a bankruptcy case, especially when they are already stressed by creditor calls or looming court dates. In a typical case, we begin by gathering pay stubs, tax returns, bills, and lawsuits so we can prepare the petition, schedules, and means test forms required by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas. Once your case is filed electronically, the automatic stay goes into effect, and the court assigns a case number and a trustee who will oversee your matter.

Over the next several weeks, you will complete required credit counseling courses and attend a brief meeting of creditors, which in the Dallas-Fort Worth area is usually held by video or at a federal courthouse rather than in a traditional courtroom. An Arlington bankruptcy attorney from our firm attends that meeting with you, helps you understand the trustee’s questions in advance, and addresses any issues that might come up with documentation or valuation of your property. As your case progresses toward discharge or plan confirmation, we keep you informed about deadlines, court notices, and any hearings so you always know the next step and how it affects your day-to-day life.
