The 5 Simple Steps to Filing an Ohio Bankruptcy:
1.
Visit this website and learn a little about how
bankruptcy works in Ohio. Make
a list of any questions you still have.
2.
Call or email us to set up
an appointment for a free one-hour consultation with one of our
bankruptcy attorneys. If
you live in a town where we don’t have an office and you
aren’t able to make the drive to our office, we would be happy
to meet you somewhere like your local McDonald’s and we can find
a quiet place to sit and discuss your situation over a cup of
coffee.
3.
We will give you our Bankruptcy Workbook to fill out
and a list of some documents we will need from you. Gather those things up and mail or email them to our office.
If you want help filling out this paperwork, set up an appointment
with one of our bankruptcy assistants and she will be happy to
help you with filling out the workbook.
4.
Take an approved Credit Counseling course online (or
by phone if you prefer). We
will give you the specifics at our first meeting, but the website
addresses of the companies we use are shown below.
This course takes an average of 90 minutes and this is a
requirement for anyone filing a chapter 7 or 13 Ohio bankruptcy.

5.
We will have you back in to meet with an attorney to go
over your final drafted petition for your signature, making
any necessary changes or updates.
We take it from there.
Note
that most of our web-savvy clients, which probably includes you
since you’re reading this on our website, only meet with us in
person 2 times over the course of getting their case filed - once
for the initial consult, and then again to sign the final papers.
In between, we utilize technology – scanning, emails,
faxes, etc. – to gather the information we need from you.
We welcome your emails, and once you
have retained us as your attorneys, you can typically expect a
response within a couple of hours, usually less, to your emails
sent to us between the hours of 7:00 am and 11:00 pm., Monday
through Saturday. Give
us a call to set up your free consultation now.
