Divorce can be expensive. We believe in the ability to work through the divorce proceedings with as little conflict as possible. What sets WKLO apart: we just aren't your ordinary law firm. We do our part for the health of the community, be it providing accessible legal service, wearing masks, or providing community connections. We believe that high quality work can be done on a low-cost basis, giving everyone access to affordable legal representation.
We believe in being paid for the work that we do, not the frills often associated with law firms. Your work will be done well; it just will not continue to sink your financial situation. Anastasia is a dedicated, hard working lawyer. She keeps you informed and educates you on the entire process, so you know what to expect and obtain the very best service for your specific situation.
She is honest, friendly, and understanding. I never felt judged or looked down on - in fact she helped me see there was no shame in my situation. She goes the extra mile.

Our office files our bankruptcies in the last week of every month.
If you wish to file in any given month, you need retain counsel (pay on your attorney fees) by the 15th of that month so we can include you in our preparations.
We will call you when your "checklist" is prepared.
This is the packet of information that specifies what we are missing from your file and provides you a chance to look over the information we already have for accuracy.
This includes deadlines, definitions, and information about bankruptcy in general.

A Chapter 13 case, commonly known as a "Wage Earner" petition, requires that monthly payments be made to the Chapter 13 Trustee for repayment of debts.
There are four instances where a Chapter 13 is a requirement: facing a foreclosure and you wish to save your home, the amount of equity in any property that you have exceeds what is allowed, the income is too high to file a Chapter 7, or you have filed a Chapter 7 bankruptcy in the previous four years and need to file again.
You can register at www.ndc.org to follow the progress of your case.

In a Chapter 7 case, the bankruptcy court will usually send you a "discharge" approximately 60 days after your meeting of creditors.
The discharge is your notice that your case is complete and that all dischargeable debts have been discharged (wiped out).
Unfortunately, a lot of things can occur before the end of that 60 day period to interfere with your discharge.

Public Assistance Hearing: A fee of $175 if either party is receiving Public Assistance, and there is a minor child involved.
For this fee, the attorney will meet with you, prepare your court papers, file them at the court for you, and appear in court to finalize your divorce.
Your case can be handled through the mail and over the telephone for an additional $75, plus mailing fees.
If your spouse will not sign the court documents, there will be additional fees depending on the situation.
It is possible that your spouse's refusal to sign the documents will result in the termination of your representation by WKLO instead of working towards agreement with your spouse.
