Do I have to go to court?

Do I have to go to court? 

There is a mandatory meeting that every Debtor must attend about one month after we file your case. Hunter will represent you at this "Meeting of Creditors". The name of the hearing is a little misleading because in most cases, none of the Debtor's creditors actually show up. The meeting usually takes only a few minutes and Hunter will have you well prepared for what to expect. At the Law Offices of K. Hunter Goff, P.A., we understand that people may feel anxious or fearful about appearing in bankruptcy court. We want people to know that this is a relatively simple process that is not worth losing sleep over.

Bankruptcy court and Chapter 7 bankruptcy

In a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, most unsecured debt is eliminated without you having to pay anything back to your creditors. In a typical Chapter 7 case, you will only need to make one appearance in Court and will never even see the Bankruptcy Judge. Keep in mind though, that every case is different and that is why you should contact us to find out exactly what you should expect should you decide to file for bankruptcy.

Bankruptcy court and Chapter 13 bankruptcy

In Chapter 13 bankruptcy, your debt will be consolidated into a three- to five-year payment plan. Depending on your situation, you may only need to attend one hearing during the entire time you are in the Chapter 13. Contact us to find out how the process will work for you based on your individual set of circumstances.
