Wheeling Bankruptcy Attorney Depicts The Filing Timeframe

Wheeling bankruptcy attorney states that cases typically take 110 days from start to finish, that’s from filing until discharge.  The timeframe will be a lot longer if you need an extended payment plan with your attorney before the case can be filed.  However, once the case is filed, you have a meeting of creditors within approximately 4 to 6 weeks.  After that period, you have to wait out a 60 to 90 day objection period whereby creditors can file an objection to your bankruptcy or to a particular debt.  Once that objection period has run and the deadline has run, the clerk of the US Bankruptcy Court will issue a bankruptcy discharge letter to you, to your attorney and to all your creditors. 

So if everything goes well, your case should take approximately 110 days and you only have to appear in court once.  If you have any questions concerning the timeline of your case, please contact your local bankruptcy attorney for answers to your specific questions. 

There is nothing to fear on a Chapter 7 bankruptcy case if you are being open and honest and if you have good counsel.  Your attorney will make you feel comfortable with the process.  Your attorney will assist you every step of the way and your attorney will even help you get back on your feet if you have questions concerning life after bankruptcy.
