During the Covid Crisis, some slight adjustments have been made in the Bankruptcy Process.  This Post will deal with Chapter 7 Cases.  Chapter 7 is the most common type of bankruptcy when we think about the term.  For debtors who qualify, Chapter 7 results in a discharge of all debts while at the same time allowing the debtor to keep everything they own (in most cases).  It gives a person who has had financial problems a fresh start.  Normally, after filing, it requires attending a meeting in Hartford or New Haven where the filer is questioned by a bankruptcy Trustee.  If everything is in order, which we make sure is the case, the discharge usually enters a few months later and the filer is now ready to start fresh.  Under the present crisis, the Court is allowing us to conduct bankruptcy meetings by phone.  We are supplied a special code to do this.  If you are interested in a free consult, please feel free to contact Attorney Mark O. Grater, located in Groton, New London County, Connecticut at 860-449-8059 or go to his web cite at www.graterlaw.com.  All office conferences are conducted with social distancing in mind, so please wear a mask.
