    Steiden Law Offices   ›   Bankruptcy Process

    Bankruptcy Process

    For many, the prospect of bankruptcy conjures up the thought of endless documents, angry creditors and the impersonal atmosphere of the court system. However, if an individual, family or business decides to delay a bankruptcy filing for fear of what it entails, they are effectively putting themselves in a far worse position in the end.

    Working side by side with an experienced and knowledgeable bankruptcy attorney will allow you to approach this process efficiently and to your maximum benefit. A bankruptcy attorney’s assistance can allow you to focus on the future as opposed to the past.

    If you have decided to file for bankruptcy, or have questions about filing for bankruptcy, in Ohio or Kentucky, it is important to consult with an experienced bankruptcy attorney who is knowledgeable in all areas of Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy. This will ensure that you receive the best possible advice and representation to overcome your unique debt situation.
