Preparing for Your First Appointment
What You Will Need to Bring With You

When you take the time to sit down with a Michigan bankruptcy attorney at our firm, you can trust that we will have all of the answers that you are looking for—whether you are asking yourself, "Should I file under Chapter 7 or Chapter 13?" or "What can I do to streamline the bankruptcy process?" That being said, we encourage you to schedule your first appointment today.
For the purpose of efficiency, we also ask that you bring the following items along with you (a printable version of this list is available here - Consultation Checklist):
- Your completed Pre-Bankruptcy Consultation Form
