Documents Needed
When you file bankruptcy, there will be a bankruptcy trustee appointed to oversee your case. The trustee will be charged with a fiduciary duty to perform a “due diligence” investigation and verify your assets, debts, income and expenses as well as your financial affairs. In order to allow the Trustee to fulfill his or her duties, we must provide the trustee with certain requisite due diligence documents.

"From our first meeting, Mr. Aalam was most helpful in explaining the bankruptcy process, my options within the process and the road ahead toward my bankruptcy filing. I did not have to research any of this on my own as my bankruptcy lawyer told me what was needed for my bankruptcy filing and his office staff kept me aware of court dates and filings through email and phone calls. I would without hesitation, recommend Mr. Aalam to my friends and family to be their bankruptcy lawyer."
