Kansas Bankruptcy

Posted on September 4, 2010 Written by

We file bankruptcies for people from all cities and counties in Kansas.  The cases are filed in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Kansas, which is federal court.  Your case may be filed in Topeka, Kansas City, KS, or Wichita. You choose.

Most people choose an attorney who specializes in bankruptcy in one of the three cities where the Kansas bankruptcy courts are located.  You are not assigned to a division based upon your county as happens in other states.  You and your attorney will choose your division in which to file your bankruptcy case.  Our firm files cases in Topeka and Kansas City, KS.  Due to the distance, we do not file cases in Wichita.  People often want to file out of town to avoid their name appearing in their local newspaper.

Your hearing called the “meeting of creditors” or “341 hearing” will be in the city where your case is filed.  If you have a court hearing before the bankruptcy judge, that hearing will be at the courthouse in the city where your case is filed.
