The VP case management process

When you decide to hire a virtual bankruptcy paralegal for your next case, you can easily do so within NextChapter's online application. After just a couple of clicks on the case dashboard, you'll have a new paralegal. The paralegal assigned to your case will reach out to begin the onboarding process with you, which includes learning how they can adapt their services to the needs of your law firm.

 

Your paralegal will then handle communications with the client and all necessary information-gathering tasks. They’ll manage data entry and start preparing the bankruptcy case. When ready, you will review the bankruptcy petition and, once approved, your VP will file the case with the bankruptcy court. Voila!

 

To make sure everything has been done correctly, you’ll get a confirmation email after submission which provides the next steps and reminders.
