How it Works
When you contact us, please be prepared to have the following information available:
- Provide a brief description on the type bankruptcy issue you need legal help with.
- Do you need to file for Chapter 7 or 13?
- Do you just want advice or are you ready to start the process of filing for bankruptcy?
Once an attorney has been found who is interested and available to discuss your case with you, we will call you back, usually within 1-2 business days, and provide you with the attorney’s information, date and time of your appointment. Same day appointments are typically not available.
