Step By Step Process

Filing a Bankruptcy with Kain + Henehan in 4 steps:

Step 1:

Free 60 Minute Consultation

Your consultation can be completed virtually, via phone, or in-person at one of our two offices in Mendota Heights and St. Cloud.

You don’t need to prepare anything for this meeting, but you just should have a general idea of your total debt and what your assets are.

We will review your concerns with you, outline some options, and upon conclusion, we will provide you with what is needed for our next appointment.

Step 2:

Review & Sign Appointment

Once you have gathered some basic paperwork (pay stubs, taxes, etc), we will meet again to fill out your bankruptcy paperwork together.

We’ll confirm and finalize your paperwork. Once you’re ready, you’ll sign off on your bankruptcy filing and we will prepare it for filing.

Step 3:

Your Case is Filed

We submit your paperwork to the courts. Once we have filed, all of the protections of bankruptcy are in place.

We only have one quick phone call or Zoom meeting to confirm your paperwork that takes place about 30 days after filing.
