2. Retainer. The retainer is truly the key to your bankruptcy, and it sets the bankruptcy process in motion. After the retainer is paid, you may defer harassing telephone calls to our office, and it allows you to set a time for Step 3, the paperwork, and Step 5, the filing.

8. Bankruptcy Meeting. The legal term for your bankruptcy meeting is a Section 341 Creditors meeting. There is no judge present at this hearing. You will meet with a Trustee in a hearing room. Remember, the purpose of bankruptcy is to give a fresh start to honest debtors. As long as you are truthful with your attorney, the bankruptcy court will help you get a fresh start in life. Narrah Newark is generally the attorney who appears with you.
9. Confirmation of Plan. The confirmation is the court acceptance of your chapter 13 payment plan. You do not need to attend this hearing.
10. Discharge. You must distinguish between a discharge and a dismissal. A discharge is the elimination of your debts. The Supreme Court said that bankruptcy provides "a new opportunity in life and a clear field for future effort." A dismissal means you did not complete your bankruptcy. A dismissal is the same as never filing bankruptcy, and your creditors may again take action against you.
