Support every step of the way

Understanding the Bankruptcy Process Colorado helps reduce uncertainty and prevent avoidable mistakes. Bankruptcy is a structured legal proceeding governed by federal law and local court procedures. Knowing what happens at each stage makes the process more manageable.

At Tallerday Law, we guide clients carefully from the initial consultation through case completion.

Step 1: Consultation and Case Review

The process begins with a confidential consultation. We review income, assets, debts, and any urgent issues such as foreclosure or wage garnishment. This evaluation determines whether Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 Bankruptcy is appropriate.

Timing and preparation are critical.

Step 2: Preparation and Filing

Before filing, financial documents are gathered and reviewed for accuracy. Complete disclosure is required under bankruptcy law.

Once filed, the automatic stay goes into effect. This court order generally stops collection activity, including foreclosure, lawsuits, and Wage Garnishment.

Step 3: Trustee Review and 341 Meeting

A trustee is appointed to review the case. Most cases require attendance at a meeting of creditors, often referred to as the 341 meeting. This meeting is typically brief and focused on confirming the accuracy of filed information.

Careful preparation helps this step proceed smoothly.

Step 4: Completion

In Chapter 7, discharge is typically granted within several months.
In Chapter 13, discharge occurs after successful completion of the repayment plan.

Throughout the Bankruptcy Process Colorado, communication and clarity reduce stress and improve outcomes.
