What Steps Should I Take to Begin the Bankruptcy Process in Atlanta, Georgia?

If you are considering filing for bankruptcy and want to learn about the bankruptcy process in Atlanta, Georgia, the first and most important step is to consult with a qualified bankruptcy attorney. Although debtors are not required to hire a lawyer to file bankruptcy in Georgia, it is probably not the best idea to file bankruptcy without one. Therefore, in my Atlanta, Georgia bankruptcy practice, I gladly meet with potential clients to discuss whether bankruptcy is a suitable option for them, based on their individual financial circumstances.

Bankruptcy Process in Atlanta, Georgia

In the initial bankruptcy consultation of my Atlanta, Georgia bankruptcy practice, I ask potential clients to bring the following documents.

  1. A completed bankruptcy intake questionnaire, which I send to each potential client;
  2. Copies of paychecks showing 60 days of income for every wage earner in the household;
  3. A copy of income tax returns for the past four years;
  4. Records of any additional income;
  5. Any correspondence from creditors, including mortgage companies;
  6. Letters from debt collection agencies or other attorneys involving debts or law suits;
  7. Any documents regarding alimony, maintenance or child support payments; and 8) Any documents regarding judgments, liens or garnishments.

Although gathering this information may seem like an overwhelming task, it is an important one because these documents help me access how bankruptcy can best benefit your specific case. And, the good news is that many of my clients find the experience to be less stressful and traumatic than they had anticipated.

I came to Mr. Clapp by referral with a complicated case involving both personal and business debts that were out of control. Mr. Clapp evaluated the situation and gave me options that I was not even aware of. He knows his stuff, executed flawlessly, and I have been able to start over. I highly recommend Charles Clapp if you have debt or bankruptcy issues. Listen to his advice, he knows his stuff. I consulted with several other bankruptcy attorneys prior to retaining Mr. Clapp, and they did not have the same breadth of knowledge that Mr. Clapp brought to my case.
