Oklahoma Legal Center Diligently Fighting For The Rights of Oklahomans

For many Oklahomans, filing for bankruptcy feels like setting yourself up for ten years of financial probation, since that is how long a bankruptcy filing can remain on your credit report. The good news is though, mortgage borrowers could qualify for a home loan in as little as one year after filing a Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy in Oklahoma. If you are considering filing for bankruptcy in Oklahoma, but you are concerned about being eligible to apply for a mortgage loan afterward, contact our experienced bankruptcy attorneys at Oklahoma Legal Center to discuss your options. When it comes to bankruptcy filings, enlisting the help of an Oklahoma lawyer who specializes in bankruptcies is critical, since a regular attorney may not have the experience or knowledge necessary to provide you with the state-specific information and assistance you need.
