However, you don't provide enough information to give you an answer to your issues. To do... View More

If your parents are currently in a pending (not yet closed) bankruptcy case, none of their creditors can proceed against them, or their estates, without first procuring relief from the automatic stay in bankruptcy.

Depends on the value of your assets and your equity in them. Consult a bankruptcy practitioner who can evaluate your entire financial situation and help you decide what to do.

If you are in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, there is nothing more you need to do, other than complete the second credit management course and file the Certificate of completion with the court.
If you are a Chapter 13 case, and you are required to make plan payments to the Chapter 13 trustee,... View More

answered on Feb 25, 2020
The simple answer is that all of your assets, including your shares of stock/ownership interest in the LLC, will become assets of the bankruptcy "estate" which is created when you file for bankruptcy relief. The Chapter 7 Trustee then "steps into your shoes" with respect to... View More

You need to go see an experienced bankruptcy lawyer. There are several ways you can protect some or all of your settlement.
I filed for Chapter 13 last year, but did not complete the petition. It was dismissed more than 365 days ago. But the filing was in 2018. If I file again, will the automatic stay apply? The last petition was dismissed in May 2018 and we would be filing again November 2019. I am planning to... View More

An automatic stay will kick in when you file a second bankruptcy, but will only last 30 days from the date you file the new petition. Within that thirty days, you can file a motion to extend the stay for the duration of your case, which of course you should do. That motion must identify the... View More

First attorney was to refund me 5200.00 dollars. Never did. Second attorney can get that for me but I will only get 1000.00 back. He stated I need to pay taxes and excess charges. Is this legal? What should I do?
answered on Jul 19, 2019
This question leaves a lot to the imagination. If your first BR lawyer never gave you $5,200 way back in 2011, why are you just now trying to recover it? Oh..wait; let me guess? So you can pay BR lawyer #2; right?
I get extreme anxiety. It gets so bad that i get sick. I may need to file bankruptcy though. Is there any help for someone in my case where-for the majority of the conversations can be done via email?

There would need to be at least one initial face-to-face meeting, just lawyer and client (this is my personal requirement, not a requirement of law).

Yes, and it happens frequently. There are companies out there whose business is to handle/service accounts of others that are deemed "bad", or "uncollectible", etc. Transfers of claims are specifically authorized by the Bankruptcy Code, and also occur in Chapter 7, 11 and 12 cases.
