Your state and county of residence generally determine your bankruptcy district. Some states, such as New Jersey and Maryland, only have one judicial district. That makes it easy. On the other hand, states such as Pennsylvania and New York have multiple districts. So we must look to the county in addition to the state. Below, we will breakdown the bankruptcy districts for Pennsylvania, Maryland, New York, and New Jersey.
Knowing your bankruptcy district is important for determining where you should take your pre-filing course, where your bankruptcy petition should be filed, where your meeting of creditors will be held, and where any court appearances will be held. As a result, we analyze here the four states in which we have offices.
