Filing Chapter 13 is very simple. After your case is filed with the court, you will go with your attorney to the office of the trustee. This meeting takes place about six weeks after your case is filed and is very informal. The purpose of the meeting is for a trustee to go over your case to make sure the plan that we have filed on your behalf is workable. Assuming that the trustee recommends your plan-and he/she almost always does-your case will be set for confirmation in front of a judge. You do not need to be present in court for your confirmation hearing-we will be there for you. Then, all you need to do a make your monthly payment to your trustee. If you prefer, we can arrange for your payment to be automatically deducted from your paycheck.
