Bankruptcy Attorney in Union County, PA

Union County sits in Central Pennsylvania, with Lewisburg as the county seat. The local economy is centered on Evangelical Community Hospital, Bucknell University, USP Lewisburg (federal prison), and Wood-Mode (recently reopened) cabinetry, and federal bankruptcy cases for Union County residents are heard by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania in Harrisburg. Wood-Mode's 2019 collapse and 2020 reopening left a wave of vendor and former-employee filings that still echo in Union County's docket — a fact that shapes how we approach almost every filing in this county.

Local experience in Union

Our Union County clients usually arrive carrying debt from Evangelical Community Hospital, First Keystone Community Bank, and Wood-Mode supplier balances. The common pressure here is Wood-Mode-related job loss legacy and medical-debt judgments, 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 Union County Court of Common Pleas, sheriff sales scheduled at the Union County Courthouse in Lewisburg, and PA Department of Revenue tax liens against Union County property.

How we file your case

Start with a free consultation by phone or video — no need to drive to Harrisburg or Camp Hill. We run the Pennsylvania means test using current state median income, pick the federal or Pennsylvania exemption set that protects the most equity for your situation, and quote a flat attorney fee in writing. You complete the one-hour online credit-counseling course, we prepare the petition, and we file electronically with the Middle District clerk. The automatic stay stops every Union County creditor — calls, lawsuits, garnishments, foreclosure, repossession — the moment we hit submit.
