Bankruptcy help near you
Dauphin County bankruptcy cases belong in the Middle District of Pennsylvania, Harrisburg Division. I review Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 options with you in a free consultation. Local foreclosure notices and civil judgments come from county offices; they do not change the federal bankruptcy filing location.
Federal bankruptcy court and Chapter 13 trustee
Middle District of Pennsylvania, Harrisburg Division (official source).
The Chapter 13 standing trustee is Jack N. Zaharopoulos (official source).
Sheriff sales: check the county's published schedule
Four regular sales yearly, Thursdays at 10 AM in the Administration Building fourth-floor Commissioners Hearing Room; continued-sale venue changes in 2027 (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
Dauphin County Courthouse, 101 Market Street, Harrisburg, PA 17101 (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.
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.
