Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy in Livermore?

How long does a bankruptcy case take in Livermore California?
A Chapter 7 case typically takes 4 to 6 months from filing to discharge. Chapter 13 lasts 3 to 5 years while you make plan payments. The court in Oakland schedules a meeting of creditors about 30 days after filing.
Can I keep my house if I file bankruptcy in Livermore?
