From there, he will determine by your income, family size, assets, and debt which will be the best course of action. Should it be Chapter 7, or Chapter 13? He will provide you with a customized “checklist” of documentation you will need to provide to him and his staff.

Attorney Labiak will provide you with his flat-rate fee. No worries, payment arrangements are available. Once the retainer fee is paid in full the law firm will petition the court on your behalf. Your bankruptcy attorney Visalia Law experts.
Let’s talk about assets…
Individuals interpret that by filing Bankruptcy, they will lose their assets. This is simply not true, in fact, once we petition the court on your behalf, immediately you will be protected by what is known as the “Automatic Stay”. This injunction placed in order by the court prevents Creditors from taking action against you. Meaning at this point, Creditors cannot further pursue you to collect on an unpaid debt, nor phone you with harassing phone calls. This should give you some peace of mind.
Now let us tell you the process once we have petitioned…
Upon petitioning the court for Bankruptcy, a hearing date will be immediately established. Automatically the notice of the “341 Meeting of Creditors” will be sent out to all of your debt Creditors. So, not only are you protected now by the “Automatic Stay”, but also a “341 Meeting of Creditors”, hearing is scheduled. Do not be worried, this is not a trial hearing in front of a judge or jury. For bankruptcy cases for Fresno, Tulare, Kings, and Madera counties, this hearing is held in Fresno, California at the U.S. Federal Bankruptcy Court.
Let’s talk about the atmosphere at the “341 Meeting of Creditors” …
First of all, our attorney and your attorney, Stephen Labiak will be with you and along your side throughout the hearing. This is a quiet hearing, held in a conference room, with an Administrative Trustee (ATJ).
Usually, the Trustee is an attorney who has his or her own Law Firm practice. Once you are called upon, the hearing goes quit quickly as little as15 minutes or less.
There will be some documentation you will need to present to the Trustee, such as a valid ID, and your Social Security Card. Once the 341 Meeting of Creditors is concluded, you are free to go and live your life! It’s that simple. Once you receive your “Discharge” letter from the court, you can start reestablishing your credit. We can educate you as well in this move.
Don’t be nervous about the bankruptcy meeting of creditors. The bankruptcy attorney will be there with you to help should you have any issues. With years of experience, I will ensure that you know all of the questions in advance and advise you on the answers you should give based on your situation. This ensures there are no issues during the 341 Meeting of Creditors in your bankruptcy case.
Bankruptcy is not to be interpreted as a negative action, it is meant to hear your financial needs and to help you get debt relief, a “Fresh Start”!
