Bankruptcy help near you

Can you file bankruptcy in Shrewsbury? Yes — residents of Shrewsbury file in the Middle District of Pennsylvania, Harrisburg Division. Bankruptcy is a federal proceeding, not a petition filed at the York County courthouse. I offer a free consultation to review Chapter 7, Chapter 13, the means test and your property exemptions.

Sheriff sales: check the county's published schedule

Online through RealForeclose; 2026 regular dates February 2, April 13, June 1, August 3, October 5 and December 7 (official source). Check the current property notice and any continuance; a schedule is not confirmation that a particular property will sell.

State-court judgments and civil records

York County Judicial Center, 45 N. George Street, York, PA 17401 (official source).

The county Court of Common Pleas handles state civil cases; bankruptcy is filed in federal court. The county prothonotary or civil division maintains civil filings and judgments.

Local legal aid and housing counseling

MidPenn Legal Services; intake 800-326-9177. Eligibility and accepted case types require screening; representation is not guaranteed (official source).

Use HUD's Pennsylvania housing counselor directory to verify an agency's approval and current service area. Legal aid and HUD-approved counseling are different services; eligibility and availability require screening. PHFA's county list names Community Progress Council for HEMAP foreclosure counseling, which is not a claim of HUD approval.

How we file your case

We review your income, debts, property, pending lawsuits and any sale notice before recommending a chapter. Filing requires approved credit counseling and complete financial disclosures. I prepare and file the petition electronically, and explain the trustee's requests and the court's next steps. Outcomes depend on your circumstances and the applicable law.
