If you’re looking for cheap bankruptcy in Utah, you’ve come to the right place! We understand that most people who need to file bankruptcy don’t have the money to pay the attorney fees and court costs upfront. You’re considering filing bankruptcy because you can’t pay for all of your debts. Adding attorney fees and court filing fees on top of your current load is not feasible.
Our competition doesn’t like our affordable bankruptcy program. That’s why we fought against our competition and the United State Trustee to allow us to offer low down bankruptcy and flexible payment plans to our clients. We spent two years fighting in court for the right to offer affordable payment plans that don’t require you to pay all the costs and fees upfront.
After two years of fighting in court, we won! No other firm can make that claim. We offer a low upfront option to get your bankruptcy case filed for only $200 upfront.
After your case is filed you will pay the court’s filing fee and the remaining attorney fees in manageable and affordably payments. We will help you customize a payment schedule that works for you.
Most people who file bankruptcy are overwhelmed by garnishment, threatening collection calls, poor credit, repossession, foreclosure, eviction, a job loss, mounting medical bills, divorce, or other financial crisis. These situations are among the leading causes of stress. Say goodbye to the stress with a fresh start.
Bankruptcy eliminates your debts allowing you to start over. The derogatory reports that are holding your credit score down are also eliminated. With your credit reset you can quickly rebuild your credit score.
Many bankruptcy attorneys in Utah advertise $0 Down Bankruptcy.
These offers have big banners and even bigger promises. When you read the fine print, however, you are required to pay the court filing fee of $338 BEFORE they will file the case.
That’s not $0 Down in our book. We believe in transparent pricing upfront. That’s why we’re upfront with cost of $200 down to get your case filed.
You will pay the court filing fee and remaining attorney fees in easy payments after the case is filed. Now that’s affordable and transparent pricing!
Bankruptcy protects debtors from collections, garnishment, repossession, foreclosure, eviction, lawsuits, and collection calls. If you are dealing with any of these issues, then bankruptcy may be appropriate for you. If you are dealing with any of the following, bankruptcy may be appropriate:
There are four different chapters of bankruptcy that a person can file: Chapters 7, 11, 12, or 13. The two most common chapters for individuals or couples are Chapter 7 or Chapter 13.
Utah Chapter 7 is frequently called a liquidation. Your property is designated either “exempt” property, which is protected, or non-exempt, which is unprotected. Any unprotected property may be sold or liquidated (hence the term liquidation) on behalf of your creditors. Most people that file for chapter 7 don’t lose any property.

Our Tooele Bankruptcy Attorney will help you understand your situation and guide you through the entire process.
Utah Chapter 13 is a debt consolidation and repayment plan based on your disposable income. Your disposable income is determined by calculating your monthly income and subtracting your monthly necessary expenses. The repayment plan will normally last between 36 and 60 months. Chapter 13 has additional tools to restructure or rehabilitate secured debts like your mortgage, if you are past due, recover a repossessed auto, restructure interest rates, and in some cases reduce the principal balance.
Weekes Law bankruptcy attorneys serve all of the State of Utah. Utah is divided into four regions for creditor meetings: Ogden (Northern), Salt Lake City (Central), Provo (South Central), and St. George (Southern). Our bankruptcy attorneys regularly appear in and are familiar with the trustees in each district. The district is determined by the home address provided to the Bankruptcy Court at the time the bankruptcy case is filed.
OGDEN – The Ogden region covers Weber, Morgan, Box Elder, Rich, Cache, and parts of Davis Counties. So residents from Logan to Layton will all be assigned to Ogden. Sometimes residents of Bountiful will be assigned to Ogden and other times we’ve seen them assigned to Salt Lake. When the meetings are conducted in person, the meetings are held at the James V. Hansen Federal Building.
SALT LAKE CITY – The Salt Lake City region includes Salt Lake, Tooele, Summit and sometimes some residents in Davis Counties. When the meetings are conducted in person, the meetings are held at the office building located at 405 South Main Street, Suite 250 in Salt Lake City. This is NOT the Bankruptcy Court that is across and up the street a half a block.
PROVO– The Provo region includes Utah, Wasatch (Heber), Duchesne, Uintah, Juab, Sanpete, Carbon, Millard, Sevier, Emery, Grand and San Juan Counties. When the meetings are conducted in person, the meetings are held at the Provo Library.
ST. GEORGE – The Saint George region includes Beaver, Piute, Wayne, Iron, Garfield, Kane, and Washington Counties. When the meetings are conducted in person, the meetings are held at the Justice Court building at 87 North 200 East.
We frequent get asked whether bankruptcy is dishonest or unethical. In our experience the overwhelming majority of people who file bankrutpcy are honest, hard-working and upstanding people. Most people file bankruptcy as a result of unexpected medical bills, the loss of a job, divorce, or some other unexpected and frequently uncontrollable event. The framers of the United States Constitution specifically provided for a uniform system of bankruptcy to deal with this issue. Bankruptcy is both honest and ethical.
