Filing starts with the required credit counseling course, then the means test to confirm your income qualifies.

Emergency bankruptcy filing in Murrieta

Emergency bankruptcy filing exists for exactly the kind of deadline pressure Murrieta families face — a foreclosure sale date, a garnishment order, a shut-off notice.
