ONLY $675 ATTORNEY FEES FOR A ST LOUIS CHAPTER 7
In all honesty, there is a bit of paperwork involved with the filing of a St Louis bankruptcy. But the documentation that your attorney will need is necessary in order to properly protect your legal interests. Below is a brief explanation of the documents that are needed:
- Regardless of which chapter of bankruptcy you file, it will be very important that your St Louis bankruptcy attorney receive any and all information related to your household income over the previous six (6) months. This information will in turn determine whether or not you qualify for a discharge in a St Louis Chapter 7. So any paystubs (for you and your spouse, even if he/she is not planning on filing with you) from full-time, part-time, or 1099 contract work; information related to governmental benefits (including unemployment security, Social Security (SSD and SSI), food stamps, etc.); child support; self employment (such as profit/loss statements from a business); and any other documentation that relates to household income.
- The most recently filed tax returns (both federal and state)
- Information related to all of your assets and belongings (for instance, we have a packet for you to fill out that asks questions about your real and personal property)
- And a list of all your debts (whether they are unsecured (like a credit card), secured (like a home loan), or priority (like back child support)
There may be other information that will be needed on a case-by-case basis. For instance, if you have recently divorced from your spouse, then we would need a copy of the divorce decree; or if you are the beneficiary of a trust fund or will, we will request a copy of that document; or if you have been receiving letters from collection agencies, we will want to take a look at them (to determine if the collector is playing by the rules).
