Filing Bankruptcy in Tennessee

While it is possible to file for bankruptcy on your own, the process can go much more smoothly with a lawyer advising you. Before you even begin to file, you must gather all of the appropriate paperwork, like your tax returns, deeds to any real estate you own, car titles, loan documents, living expenses and your income sources. You will also need to figure out which property is exempt from seizure according to Tennessee law.

Our experienced lawyers are familiar with Tennessee bankruptcy laws, so we will be able to advise you on what documents you need to provide, what property will be exempt, etc. Your attorney will also be able to determine which kind of bankruptcy will be best for you to file based on your income and assets.
