Understanding the Bankruptcy Process

Guiding Arizona Clients Through the Process of Filing Bankruptcy

There are two ways our team handles and explains the bankruptcy process to our clients. The first is the set of things that are required by bankruptcy courts — the kinds of things that any credible law office addresses. The other way is the process by which our attorneys, paralegals and support staff will be working with you every step of the way.

When we talk about the bankruptcy process at the Law Offices of Farnsworth Mortensen, PLLC in Phoenix, Mesa and Tucson, we aren't just talking about the paperwork and hearings. We are talking about how we will be there for you, educating you, helping you make the right decisions and preparing you for each phase of the process.

What to Expect in Bankruptcy

The specifics of how your bankruptcy will proceed depend on your specific plan and needs. There can be small but substantial differences, for example, depending on whether you file for Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 protection. In most cases, the major milestones are:

  • Building a plan with our team — Your bankruptcy plan will be built to address the specific issues you face. We never have a one-size-fits-all approach.
  • Filing petition and supporting documents with the court — At this point, you are protected from collection calls from creditors. You will work with our staff and attorneys to help you put together the documents you need.
  • Meeting with creditors — A meeting that usually sounds much worse than it is. In reality, most of the time this meeting lasts only a couple of minutes.
  • Waiting period for objections — During this time we may address any objections that creditors have to your plan. This is one of the most important times to have a lawyer you can trust on your side.

We know people have questions at every phase, and we are there to ensure that you get the answers and information you need. We can help you with any of the pressing questions that people seeking debt relief often have, including:
