Frequently Asked Bankruptcy Questions
1. What happens at my first consultation?
We review your financial picture, explain your Michigan debt relief options, and answer all of your questions. There’s never any pressure to decide right away. Bankruptcy and other debt relief options are important decisions, and our goal is to ensure you feel fully informed and 100% confident about your path forward.
2. How much does bankruptcy cost in Michigan?
Costs vary by case, but we offer affordable payment plans and explain all fees upfront. For Chapter 13 cases, we typically only require the court filing fee upfront, with attorney fees paid through your Chapter 13 repayment plan.
3. Do I have to go to court for bankruptcy?
Most cases only require a short meeting with a trustee (not a judge). We prepare you fully and attend with you. Many hearings are now held via Zoom for your convenience.
4. Will bankruptcy ruin my credit forever?
No. Most clients see their credit begin to improve within a year of filing. We provide free tools to help rebuild your score and partner with a third-party service to help you maximize your bankruptcy discharge benefits. Often, filing for bankruptcy can be the best thing for your credit long-term.
