Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Process

Chapter 7

Bankruptcy Process

Chapter 7 can be handled in as little as 3 months. Usually it requires filing of some paperwork and a brief appearance in front of a bankruptcy trustee. By hiring one of our expert Chapter 7 bankruptcy attorneys, we can handle this process for you.

Chapter 7

Credit Counseling

Prefiling Requirement

A credit counseling certificate is required in order to qualify for a Chapter 7 bankruptcy. Usually this certificate costs $50 or less and proves that you understand how to use credit in the future.

Getting Protection From Creditors

The Automatic Stay

Once you have completed your credit counseling, you are now eligible to obtain a bankruptcy number. You do this by filing for what is called a skeleton or emergency petition.

Getting Protection From Creditors

Bankruptcy Protection Begins

Creditors Will back Off

If any creditors call at this point, simply provide them with your filing # and the court your bankruptcy is being handled in. All proceedings to garnish wages, repossess cars, and foreclose home will also grind to a halt.

Creditors' Meeting

Schedule 341 Hearing

For almost a decade we worked for banks processing their assets that were in default. Gain the upper hand with our inside knowledge.

Equity Legal went out of their way to help me with my case. I finally feel I am on the right track in receiving a better settlement that is more substantial. It was their advice that got me there. I would recommend this firm to anyone.

Did You Know? You may be able to stay in your home payment free? Sometimes greater than a year…

Did You Know? A Chapter 7 can be filed with the courts, and you can be debt free in 60-90 days?

Mr. Luiey Haddad and his managing partner Mr. Sasan Mirkarimi are exemplary real estate attorneys. I observed their work in the San Diego Courtroom. I was impressed with their clarity, fortitude and comprehension of the issues involved. Their breath and depth and enormous legal ability was absolutely required in the case before them. Their efforts and legal acuity won the final hearing which lead to a very good settlement. They also monitored and weighed carefully the cost and benefit part of the legal process. I highly recommend them. Jack M. Bennett, California licensed real estate broker and business advisor.
