Where do I file Bankruptcy?

If you live in Chesapeake, Norfolk, Virginia Beach, Portsmouth, or Suffolk, you will file Bankruptcy in Norfolk*.

Bankruptcy falls under Federal law, and therefore is handled in Federal, not state, courts.

Our close proximity to the Bankruptcy court is convenient and allows us to file your petition quickly and efficiently.
