Met with our lawyer for the first time and we feel better already!

[HelpMeFast!]

We had our first face to face meeting with our lawyer yesterday and it did miracles to settle us down. We're in Texas and decided to use a lawyer who is also a Trustee. He took a quick look at the worksheets we filled out and asked some basic questions and told us that we should qualify for CH 7 with no problems. He was also saying we needed to file ASAP so that I wouldn't lose an upcoming real estate commission that I have coming next month (I'm a part time realtor). He also said if I filed my tax return before we filed for BK then they wouldn't touch it. Being that he is a Trustee he knew exactly what to look for. He also knew exactly which documents that the other Trustee would want. We have a few more things to turn in and I'm crossing my fingers that there are no delays. I really want to get this over with! Thanks again for all of the support from this forum.

Glad to hear it went so well! I didn't realize if you file your income taxes first they can't touch them, is this true?We are formally filing within the month should we do our taxes asap?
