Legal Question in Bankruptcy in Georgia

I filed bankruptcy, but I have not received my discharge. I received a summons for a civil lawsuit from a construction company that completed work on my house. How am I covered under Chapter 7 law or if I am covered?

If you were represented by an attorney (which I hope you were) to file for bankruptcy, you should immediately contact that attorney and inform them of your receipt of the lawsuit. That attorney will be in the best position to help you. If you did not hire an attorney, it is time to get one.

Best of luck.*******The above is for informational purposes and does not create an attorney-client privilege.********
