Affordable Solutions from a Knowledgeable Bankruptcy Lawyer.
As much as we try to control it, life sometimes does not go as planned. There are many situations that can cause people to become overwhelmed by consumer debt. Some people are struggling to make ends meet after a divorce, medical problem or job loss, while other people are enticed by credit card companies to spend beyond their means.
At Jeffrey A. Koons, Attorney at Law, we help clients throughout the Kansas City metro area file bankruptcy. If you are ready to work toward regaining financial stability, contact us to schedule an appointment. Attorney Jeffrey Koons has helped many men and women in Kansas and Missouri get the fresh start they need to move beyond the past into a brighter tomorrow.
Keep Your Assets.
Despite what some believe, bankruptcy is not a punishment or something to feel guilty about, but your right under the law to get debt relief. Bankruptcy is designed to help people who are facing overwhelming debt, including medical bills, credit card bills and pay day loans, to discharge their debts and get a fresh start.
Filing for bankruptcy does not mean that you will lose your assets. In most instances, it offers you a way to keep your house, car, clothing and retirement savings. These are not subject to seizure or liquidation.
Qualifying for Bankruptcy.
In order to get debt relief, you must first qualify. Generally, most people whose incomes fall below the median income for the state qualify. Even individuals who exceed the median can still qualify, if they pass what is known as a means test. When you come to us Attorney Koons will thoroughly evaluate your situation, including all your debts and assets, to determine your eligibility to file.
What to Expect When You Work With Us.
From beginning to end, count on us to work closely with you:
- Free initial consultation: We will listen to and assess your situation, guide you on the pros and cons of bankruptcy and provide you with complete information about costs of filing.
- Information: After the consultation, we will give you a packet of information and a list of required documents to bring on your return visit. Required documents include tax returns and pay stubs that allow us to account for all your assets and sources of income.
- Affordable rate and case filing: On your return visit, we will proceed to creating the necessary paperwork and file your bankruptcy petition with the Bankruptcy Court.
- Meeting with the trustee: Thirty days after filing, we will attend a meeting with the bankruptcy trustee. The trustee is a court-appointed attorney who reviews the bankruptcy petition and asks any questions needed to approve the petition. Attorney Koons will be at your side during this meeting.
- Discharge: Sixty days after the trustee's meeting, you will receive discharge from the court.
As soon as you file for bankruptcy, you are under the protection of the Bankruptcy Court. The filing triggers an automatic stay, meaning that all creditor collection must stop. You can finally be free from the harassing calls, letters, garnishments and lawsuits.
Depending on your particular situation, we also can get an emergency petition filed within 48 hours.
File Your Bankruptcy Case.
Unlike some firms, we are upfront with you throughout the process, both about the law and about costs. We do not offer a lower price up front and continually add fees as your case goes on. Our fee arrangement is simple.
To schedule your free initial consultation with a dedicated and knowledgeable bankruptcy lawyer, contact us online or call 913-871-6398.
