Your Legal Helpers sponsoring bankruptcy attorney will begin by helping you put together all the needed information.

Once your case is filed, your California bankruptcy attorney will be there to counsel you throughout the process.

What will happen at your hearing.

In a Chapter 7 bankruptcy case, the trustee will ask you questions to verify your eligibility for Chapter 7 relief and to determine that you have fully disclosed all of your assets and liabilities.

You'll be asked if you own a home? Have you transferred any property? Do you have the right to sue any one for bodily injury? Have you listed all of your debts and assets? Are you expecting to inherit money shortly?

The hearing only lasts about five minutes and is relatively informal. Most Legal Helpers clients are relieved after they see how smoothly the hearing goes.

In a Chapter 13 case, the hearing lasts about 10 minutes. In addition to the questions asked in most Chapter 7 cases, the trustee will also ask questions to verify that you can afford your Chapter 13 payment and that you are making your best efforts to repay your creditors through your Chapter 13 payment plan.

With Legal Helpers on your side, you'll always be prepared and ready to start a brighter future. Our Oakland bankruptcy attorneys understand this is a big step in your financial life, and they are here to help you now and in the future.
