Will I Have To Go To Court If I File Bankruptcy?

In 99% of our cases, "NO."

In virtually all cases, however, you will only have to attend a small (typically about 3 minute) hearing once for a "meeting of creditors." This meeting is generally short and simple and generally requires a debtor to answer a few questions about your bankruptcy and financial situation. The hearing is held in front of a trustee, not a judge and the hearings are not held in a courtroom.
