How much time does the bankruptcy process take?
The amount of time that the bankruptcy process will take will depend on the complexity of bankruptcy case and on the individual client. The amount of time it takes for a person to file an actual petition with the bankruptcy court will depend on how quickly a client can gather together all the financial materials necessary to file their case, and the complexity of the client’s financial situation. Once a case is filed, the length of time before debts are discharged will depend on which chapter of bankruptcy the debtor is filing. Generally speaking, chapter 7 bankruptcies usually take 4-6 months to discharge; where as chapter 13 bankruptcies usually take about 3-6 years to discharge. These time frames will change depending on your individual case. Our Attorneys will let you know what to expect after filing your petition.
