Bankruptcy Attorney in Lycoming County, PA

Lycoming County sits in North Central Pennsylvania, with Williamsport as the county seat. The local economy is supported by UPMC Williamsport, Susquehanna Health, Lycoming College, Lycoming Engines, and Marcellus Shale services, and federal bankruptcy cases for Lycoming County residents are heard by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania in Harrisburg. Lycoming filings are heard at the U.S. Courthouse on West Third Street in Williamsport — the Middle District's Williamsport division — a fact that shapes how we approach almost every filing in this county.

Our Lycoming County clients usually arrive carrying debt from UPMC Williamsport, Jersey Shore State Bank, and gas-services equipment-finance balances. The common pressure here is gas-patch contractor income volatility and medical debt, and we tailor each case to that — whether that means a fast Chapter 7 discharge for medical and credit-card debt, or a Chapter 13 plan to cure arrears on a mortgage or vehicle. We handle credit-card and medical-debt judgments filed in the Lycoming County Court of Common Pleas, sheriff sales scheduled at the Lycoming County Courthouse in Williamsport, and PA Department of Revenue tax liens against Lycoming County property.
