Hi all. This is my first post here so hopefully I do not violate any protocols.
I am a new lawyer in my first year. I been to about twenty 341 meetings. I have seen it happen two times where the debtor didn't make it and got his case dismissed.
It is a big deal to re-schedule the meetings and I have to work that day is not a good reason.
Bottom line, don't miss your meeting (and don't be late).
What I suggest is this: The 341 meeting is scheduled at the time you file the case and it set about 30 days out (depending on the calendar). You can pick the day you file so that your schedule is open starting 25 days out until 40 days out. That way you have a two week window where the 341 meeting would likely be. Just file your case when that window is free of trips.
That is what we have done in our office when there is going to be an issue with attendance at the 341. To gauge it even closer, we have filed a case which will assign a 341 meeting date. Then a case filed immediately after usually gets a 341 meeting date the same day or on occasion, the next day.
