Will I lose my house and car?
In most cases, no. Sypher Law Group, L.L.C. has helped many people avoid foreclosure and repossession. In your case, we will work to help you retain your house, vehicles and personal property, if possible, while obtaining debt relief for you.
Will I ever be able to buy a house after filing for bankruptcy?
Yes. In a few short years you can rebuild your credit to the point where you can get a mortgage or buy a vehicle on credit. There is life after bankruptcy.
Should I keep paying my bills even if I plan to file for bankruptcy?
It depends. You don't have to pay those debts that will be discharged during the bankruptcy process — such as credit card debts and other unsecured debts. You should keep paying your mortgage or car payments, if you want to hold on to those possessions. An attorney at our firm can advise you about which bills you should pay and which ones you don't have to pay.
Will I have to go to court?
You will not have to go to court, but you will have to appear one time before a trustee (not a judge) in a conference room setting. These hearings are business-like, but relaxed and low pressure. A lawyer from our firm will represent you in this hearing and handle all other necessary tasks in your bankruptcy.
Will notice of my bankruptcy filing be published in my local newspaper?
It depends if your paper publishes that kind of information. A bankruptcy filing is a legal procedure that is public information, so there is nothing stopping a newspaper from publishing the notice.
Will my employer find out about my bankruptcy?
Only if you owe money to your employer, you tell them or your employer reads about it in your local newspaper.
How much will it cost me to file for bankruptcy?
Every case is different, based on the amount of work that needs to be done. Before we start working for you, Sypher Law Group, L.L.C. will quote a reasonable flat fee. Our fees are inclusive, meaning that costs for all legal filings will be included in our quote. You will know exactly how much your bankruptcy will cost.
What should I tell my creditors when they call?
Once you have retained Sypher Law Group, L.L.C. to represent you in a bankruptcy case, you can refer all of your creditor’s calls to us. After we file bankruptcy for you, all creditor calls or harassment must stop.
Who will I work with when I hire Sypher Law Group, L.L.C.?
You will work directly with one of attorneys, either Sarah A. Sypher or Ryan Kiliany, throughout the entire process. We also have a dedicated staff of professionals trained to work with you through this process. Our firm is committed to providing personalized and responsive client service. We want to help you overcome your financial difficulties and make a new beginning.
