Key questions when facing a bankruptcy petition.

The first step is to identify your deadline, whether the debt can be disputed, and whether there are urgent steps available before the hearing.

Question 01

How long do I have to respond to a bankruptcy petition?

Usually 18–21 days from service. Early action can prevent a bankruptcy order.

Question 02

Can I defend the petition?

Yes. If the debt is disputed, improperly served, or there is abuse of process, you may have grounds to defend the petition.

Question 03

What if I already have a hearing date?

It may still be possible to adjourn, settle or take urgent steps. Contact us immediately.

Do not wait if a hearing date has been listed.

If you are facing excessive bankruptcy costs, or your trustee is trying to sell your home, act now. The sooner we get involved, the more options we have.
