Bankruptcy cases are always filed in Bankruptcy Court, however they are often dependent on State law. A debtor declares bankruptcy to seek relief from a debt by either having the debt discharged or by having the debt restructured. While creditors can file a bankruptcy petition against a debtor, it is more common for a debtor to initiate the bankruptcy case.

Bankruptcy lawyers are experienced with the different types of bankruptcy and seek to make the process of filing easier for debtors making the decision of whether or not to file for bankruptcy. Bankruptcy lawyers also deal with those experiencing significant financial distress, cases involving bankruptcy fraud, and perjury.
