In most cases — YES. Likely, the only time you will need to appear in court is at your “Meeting of Creditors” also called “341 hearing”. At your 341 hearing you will meet with the bankruptcy trustee and any creditor who chooses to come. Don’t worry! Most of the time, this meeting will be a short and simple procedure where they ask you a few questions about your bankruptcy forms and your financial situation. Quite often, not a single creditor appears.
Occasionally, if complications arise in your chapter 7 or chapter 13 bankruptcy, or if you choose to dispute a debt, you may have to appear before a judge at a hearing. Your Las Vegas bankruptcy attorney will be with you every step of the way during any court hearings you may need to attend.
