 Did you know that:
Income taxes that are more than three years past due may be dischargeable in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy or Chapter 13 bankruptcy?

Once a bankruptcy case is filed, pending lawsuits against the debtor or his/her property are automatically stayed?
You can apply for credit immediately after your bankruptcy discharge is granted?
Our law firm maintains a very active consumer bankruptcy practice. Each Kansas City bankruptcy attorney at our firm is experienced in representing consumers both in Chapter 7 bankruptcy and Chapter 13 bankruptcy. All our attorneys are licensed in both Missouri and Kansas. Neil Sader is certified by the American Board of Certification in Consumer Bankruptcy Law.
At any one time, our firm generally has more than 200 active consumer cases. Despite that significant volume, our clients deal directly with their attorneys throughout the bankruptcy process. Each qualified Kansas City bankruptcy lawyer at our firm is flexible and is willing to schedule appointments after hours and over the weekend to meet client needs which may include the filing of emergency bankruptcies to prevent foreclosures and release garnishments or the need to counsel potential clients who may be suffering significant stress related to debt problems. At The Sader Law Firm we recognize the benefit a properly filed bankruptcy can have on an individual and family. We offer very reasonable rates and payment plans. You are encouraged to call for a free phone consultation.
The following are a few observations of the bankruptcy process gained from representing hundreds of clients:
- The most difficult time for anyone considering bankruptcy is determining the need to make that first call to an attorney. Once that first call is made and you start to understand the process, you will start to feel better.
- The next worry most have is wondering how they will be able to pay for the bankruptcy. At The Sader Law Firm, we allow our clients all the time they need to pay our fees. Even if it takes a number of weeks, this allows most people the time to save the money necessary.
- To save time and the number of trips you make to our office, we will forward to you a set of forms asking you in plain English for the information necessary to prepare your bankruptcy pleadings. If you fill it out before coming in for your first visit with the attorney, he or she can better advise you about the effect your bankruptcy can have once filed. Filling out the forms is really the last piece of work you will have to do. The remainder of the work is now up to your attorney!
- Once all the required information is received, the attorney prepares the bankruptcy petition and schedules. Those are the legal documents actually filed with the court. You are required to review those items with your attorney before signing them. Once that is complete and your fees are paid, your case is ready to be filed.
- Most clients find it hard to believe that once their case is filed, they generally do not see the Judge even once. In a vast majority of cases the debtors attend the required meeting of creditors (presided over by a court appointed trustee) with their attorney – and that is their only court hearing or appearance! In Chapter 7 cases, generally 60 to 90 days after the meeting, the bankruptcy discharge is granted and the case is over.
- Most people cannot believe how easy it is and generally kick themselves when it is over for not doing it sooner!
Chapter 7 and 13 Bankruptcy Overview
Below are overviews of the two main types of consumer bankruptcies that may be available to you. A Chapter 7 bankruptcy discharges your legal obligation to pay most unsecured debts. For those with secured debts, Chapter 13 bankruptcy allows repayment of past due debts over time, preventing creditors from repossessing secured property on which payments are being made. Regardless of the type of bankruptcy you may be interested in, there are many requirements, obligations and rules which need to be followed and which almost require the hiring of a bankruptcy attorney to ensure that you receive the relief you are anticipating.
At The Sader Law Firm, our job is to work with you to gather the information needed, prepare all of the required paperwork discussed below, file all court-related documents in your case and appear as your legal representative throughout the process.
