In Nebraska, you do not need to live in or travel to a major city in order to complete most aspects of your bankruptcy. The rules of the bankruptcy court allow for most of your filing to be done by telephone and e-mail.

At Patricia Geringer Law, we are prepared to assist qualified clients who prefer to consult with us and complete the bankruptcy process from a distance. Just contact us to schedule a free telephone consultation with one of our experienced bankruptcy professionals.


Consulting and Preparing Your Filing From a Distance
Our technologically advanced bankruptcy law firm has all the necessary tools to complete your bankruptcy consultation and filing from a distance. During our initial telephone consultation -- which typically takes about half an hour -- we will get all the information from you that we need to start the process.

If you choose to file for bankruptcy, we can either mail you additional materials for you to complete and mail back to us, email you material for you to complete and return or we can get the additional information we need right over the telephone. In any event, we will give every step of your filing the same attention we give to those who come into our office. We will diligently double-check every step of your financial situation before moving forward.

Once we have prepared your bankruptcy filing petition, we can mail or e-mail it to you for you to read over, sign and send back to us. You do not need to be present when we file your petition with the court.

The moment your bankruptcy petition is filed -- without having to travel to any hearings or meetings -- you will immediately get the protection offered by bankruptcy. If a foreclosure sale has been scheduled, it will be cancelled. Wage garnishments, repossessions, lawsuits and phone calls will all stop right away.

Providing Skilled Representation at the Hearing
Eventually, everyone who files for bankruptcy, whether under Chapter 7 or Chapter 13, needs to attend an in-person hearing. These hearings are usually a brief formality, but they cannot currently be done by telephone or electronically.

Depending on which county you live in, your hearing will be scheduled in Omaha, Lincoln, Grand Island or North Platte. If your hearing is held in Omaha or Lincoln, one of our attorneys will accompany you. If it is in Grand Island or North Platte, we have relationships with capable attorneys who will accompany you to the creditor's meeting.

Regardless of where the hearing is held, all documents are prepared and reviewed by Mrs. Geringer!
