Cleveland, OH Bankruptcy Process

A caring attorney at Blomgren & Bobka in Cleveland, OH will walk you through the bankruptcy process. We provide a free initial consultation at our Cleveland office to anyone considering consumer bankruptcy in northeast Ohio. This includes explaining essential forms and what documents you need to collect. You have every opportunity to ask questions about the process, benefits, risks, and timelines.

Recognizing that all costs matter in your situation, we will work with you on a manageable payment plan. Once you have determined that Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy is right for you and paid necessary fees, we will prepare your petition. At a second meeting, we will review your petition, deal with any concerns, and proceed to file your case.

Other important aspects of the bankruptcy process include:

• Once you retain us, you can begin referring collection calls to our office. Once we file your bankruptcy case, you will have legal protection from judgments, garnishments, and other collection actions.

• Federal law requires you to complete a credit counseling course, and we can direct you to Internet and telephone resources for handling this quickly and efficiently.

• You, along with Mr. Blomgren or Mr. Bobka and a court-appointed trustee, will attend a "341" meeting that is also open to your creditors. In almost all cases, this is brief and painless, and we will prepare you well. In Chapter 13 cases, your lawyer will attend a confirmation hearing and handle any required negotiations with creditors or the trustee.

• Typically within a few months or less of beginning the process, you receive a legal discharge of your debts or approval of your Chapter 13 petition and plan.

At some larger bankruptcy firms, you might work with a paralegal or assistant. The attorney who appears in court with you might even be someone you have not met. At Blomgren & Bobka Co., L.P.A., we take a much more personal and attentive approach. The lawyer you meet will remain your hands-on, accessible lawyer for all aspects of your case. We keep in mind that you are under considerable stress, and make ourselves available to provide the reassurance and preparation you need.
