Frequently Asked Questions
What types of bankruptcy are available in Monterey Park?

How long does a bankruptcy case take in California?
A Chapter 7 case typically takes 4 to 6 months from filing to discharge. A Chapter 13 repayment plan lasts 3 to 5 years. The automatic stay stops most collection actions immediately after filing.
