Lawrence & Fisher PLLC
Almost everyone that comes into my office is baffled by the overall process of filing bankruptcy in Washington D.C. or Maryland. Let’s face it: there’s a ton of bad information out there and it’s hard to know who to trust. Each case is different but here’s the usual flow
1) Call me at 202-536-5534 for a quick phone interview and to make an appointment.
2) Meet with me for a free consultation; and bring as much of the following paperwork as you can:
–6 months of pay-stubs
–current tax returns
–bank account statements
3) Provide my office with information about your assets and debts. You’ll receive a full interview packet after you meet with me.
4) Over email, phone and fax you work hand in hand with me and my paralegal to prepare your petition.
5) Take the credit counseling course.
6) Meet with me to review your paperwork and sign your petition.
7) I file your petition with the Court electronically.
8 40-60 days after filing your case together we attend the Meeting of the Creditors. (Bring a photo ID and proof of your social security number!)
9) Take the Financial Management Course.
10) 60 days after we attend the meeting of the creditors you should receive your discharge and your case will be closed. Your case is over and you’re now debt free.
