Bankruptcy Petition Support

Built to support the work behind the filing.

Choose the level of support your practice needs. Each engagement is performed under attorney direction, with the responsible attorney retaining review and approval.

Included with Chapter 7 petition preparation

Administrative and petition-preparation support from case setup through the agreed pre-341 trustee document submission.

  • Establish the matter in the firm’s bankruptcy software and organize the working file.
  • Handle routine client outreach and follow-up throughout the preparation process.
  • Request, receive, and organize the financial records needed for petition preparation.
  • Prepare the petition, schedules, statements, and related filing documents for attorney review.
  • Coordinate review checkpoints with the responsible attorney and the client.
  • Facilitate the signature process and filing workflow as directed by the attorney.
  • Provide the client with the case number, 341 meeting information, and debtor-education timing.
  • Assemble and transmit required pre-341 documentation to the Chapter 7 trustee.
The standard Chapter 7 engagement concludes after the petition has been filed and the agreed 341 documentation has been delivered to the trustee.

Need us to stay with the case after filing?

Post-filing administrative support can be added when your firm wants continued case coverage beyond the standard Chapter 7 preparation engagement.

Need continued Chapter 13 support after filing?
