Handling Your Jacksonville Bankruptcy Filing
Meet with our attorneys to discuss your financial situation and whether bankruptcy is the right option for you. We help you file for bankruptcy in Jacksonville.
A bankruptcy proceeding commences with the filing of a petition and a statement of financial affairs. The statement of financial affairs must include this information:
- A list of your priority, secured, and unsecured debts
- The names and addresses of your creditors
- All list of all assets, including real estate and personal property
Once you have filed a bankruptcy petition, the automatic stay bars creditors from trying to collect on your debts. The automatic stay gives you a break from litigation and preserves your property. The stay may be lifted only if a creditor demonstrates that there is cause to do so.
What happens next depends on the type of bankruptcy you choose. Our attorneys keep you informed on what to expect in your bankruptcy proceeding. Contact us today for a free initial consultation.
