- Documents To File In A Phoenix Bankruptcy Case
For people who are suffering financially and who are not sure where to turn for help, there are options available. One of those options is filing for bankruptcy protection so that the collection efforts can stop and those who are working through these problems can plot a course to relief and recovery. Unfortunately, many people hesitate to file for bankruptcy protection because they mistakenly believe that this is a very complicated process. While every bankruptcy filing should be made with the help of an experienced Phoenix, AZ bankruptcy attorney, the process itself should not be intimidating, especially with the proper help. Below is an overview of the process of filing bankruptcy in Phoenix.
Documents to File a Bankruptcy Case in Phoenix
While there are different chapters under which someone can file a bankruptcy case that involve different types of procedures, there are some common documents that will be necessary no matter what type of bankruptcy is filed. Specifically, these forms include a basic document that establishes the filing of the case as well as schedules of debts and assets that must be included in order for the Bankruptcy Court to officially open the file. These schedules of debts and assets must also include the names and contact information for the creditors who are owed money, as the court will need to notify these creditors that a bankruptcy case has been filed and that their collection efforts must stop immediately.
After the initial documents are filed, a bankruptcy case will proceed differently depending on the chapter that governs the filing. If someone is filing under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code, those original schedules can be enough to complete the case after a hearing is held. If someone is filing under Chapter 13 of the Bankruptcy Code, he or she will also need to file a plan that proposes payment amounts to be made during the life of the plan. This plan needs to be approved by creditors.
In addition, these bankruptcy cases can be filed locally. The Phoenix Bankruptcy Court’s Clerk’s Office is located at:
230 North 1st Avenue
Phoenix, AZ 85003
Once the clerk receives the initial documents, the process of opening the case will begin.

Working at Phillips Law Group has been great the 1st few years in I noticed how well organized and run this Firm was from Intake to Settlement the Client has the expertise of a staff member uniquely qualified for the particular stage of each Clients claim and all other Law firms try to emulate what we do here but none quite get it right because they lack one major component “Compassion”. We are a FAMILY not just a group of people/employees. We care deeply about each other and our clients’ we are considerate, compassionate and make sure that all our Clients’ needs are met from beginning to end. That’s because we treat our clients just like we treat each other. Nothing like walking through the office and saying Hello to fellow employees who always seem to be smiling. 16yrs in and it only seems to be getting better.

Kathy Hudson and Donato Giovanatto. Continues to go above and beyond the call of duty. Reaching out to the insurance company about the damage to the vehicle. Forcing them to take responsibility.

Two family members were in a bad wreck a couple of years ago, and as a result called Phillips Law to represent them. Montana Thompson was the attorney assigned to the case with the help of Nemo Farr as legal assistant. Mr. Thompson litigated a very generous settlement for both my stepdaughter and her son. Because my grandson is a minor, I decided to act as conservator for him to ensure the settlement was safe and secure. Montana helped with that process, but it was Nemo who went way above and beyond the call in finding a financial institution to use for the restricted account. There were some glitches in that process but Nemo helped navigate them with a calm expertise which belies his age. I would consider them both great representatives of the level of commitment to their clients and assets to their firm.

It’s an Honor and a Privilege to work for a company that cares about its employees and clients for 12 years. I’ve seen Management go out of their way to help someone whether it’s a personal matter or work related. I am also reminded of many occasions where a Client needed urgent help and we as a Team were able to get the person immediate assistance. At Phillips Law we make that happen through Teamwork and a dedication to our profession. I’ve had numerous jobs in several other fields, those were just jobs. This is a home. Many of us have been here for quite a few years, it feels like one large extended family.
