How long does it take to complete a Chapter 7 case?
After we file your Bankruptcy Petition, you will obtain instant relief in the form of an “automatic stay” which stops creditors from taking any action against you or continuing any action against you. Approximately 25 days later, attorney Jeff Walters will accompany you to a meeting which takes place before a Trustee appointed by the U.S. Trustee’s office. We will thoroughly prepare you for that meeting and we will prepare and compile all necessary documents. Attorney Jeff Walters will represent you at the meeting. Approximately two months later, you will receive a court order letting you know that your debts have been discharged (“wiped out”). In short, you are protected from the moment we file your Bankruptcy Petition, and your debts will be officially wiped out about 90 days after we file your Bankruptcy Petition.
