Coronavirus Impact on Oklahoma Bankruptcy has changed the way bankruptcy lawyers and courts do business throughout the State. With mounting positive tests and increased death rates the State is grappling with how it protects its citizens and how the courts process bankruptcy filings. With the onslaught of the virus the need for bankruptcy lawyers and the bankruptcy courts in Oklahoma to do its part in stemming the virus is paramount.

Meeting With Your Local Bankruptcy Attorney

With the need to limit personal contacts most attorneys are meeting with their bankruptcy clients in a more controlled environment. This means that office visits are still being done but with more of a focus on Covid-19 awareness. Towards this end we are trying to keep client meeting spread out so that the number of people in our office at any one time is reduced. Additionally our bankruptcy attorneys are doing more intakes over the phone or by email. Chapter 7 and 13 bankruptcy signings are all being done in our Tulsa office just as in the past.
