PRE-FILING COUNSELING SESSION

All consumers who plan to file for bankruptcy must complete a counseling session before filing. Through our relationship with your attorney, we offer you a fast, convenient way to complete this requirement.

Through our relationship with CCCS, we offer you a fast convenient way to complete this requirement. If you wish for us to assist you in obtaining this certificate, a fee of $50.00 needs to be paid to CCCS via Debit Card or check by phone.

At the conclusion of your meeting with your attorney, CCCS will provide our office a copy of the pre-filing certificate you will need to file with the court as proof of completing this requirement
