Arizona Bankruptcy Courts - Phoenix Division

The Arizona Bankruptcy Court for the Phoenix Division warns "While it is possible to file a bankruptcy case 'pro se,' that is, without the assistance of an attorney, it is extremely difficult to do so successfully. Hiring a competent attorney is highly recommended. For information about referral programs, contact your local bar association."

The Phoenix Division has jurisdiction over the counties of Apache, Coconino, Yavapai, Maricopa, Navajo, and Gila County. In general, a domicile within the county - used as a primary residence - is sufficient for jurisdiction. US citizenship is not required. State citizenship is not required. A debtor who does not live within the borders of the United states but does own property or operate a business within the state may file after 180 days.

The Phoenix Division provides copies of records, local rules, schedules and official filing instructions. The instructions provided are general, and are not a substitutive for legal advice. For instance, the information provided does not adequately explain the benefits and burdens of each chapter for debtors or the long term effect of filing. The Code is specific: judges, clerks and personnel are prohibited from providing what may be construed as legal advice. This rule of law applies equally to debtors, creditors and parties in interest. With new laws looming on the horizon, now, more than ever before, qualified legal advice is a necessity before initiating any suit. County bar associations all typically provide referrals to local attorneys.
