Bankruptcy Law Practice in Denver and the following areas
No. But you do meet with the Trustee. About 30 days after you file the bankruptcy you will attend a hearing presided over by the bankruptcy Trustee. This hearing is called the First Meeting of Creditors. Each bankruptcy filing is assigned a Trustee(see question 13). This person is an attorney, and at the hearing, they will ask questions, which you answer under oath, regarding the information contained in the bankruptcy papers your attorney filed with the court. Your creditors are permitted to attend the Meeting, and they may also ask you questions. We will help you prepare for the hearing and we will attend this meeting with you.. Typically, you have no further contact with the bankruptcy trustee after the meeting. However, if a creditor files a motion or an adversary action requesting that the court declare the debt you owe them non-dischargeable, you may have to go to court, but it is not the typical situation that this happens.
