You can get any bankruptcy record online at www.pacer.gov for a fee of 10 cents a page, but you may need to pay for more pages than you actually need. Or you may go to the bankruptcy courthouse and order the records from the clerk's office.

The answer would be based upon when you filed your case. Most recent cases are filed electronically and not that hard to recover. Of course, you would need to reimburse the law firm for the costs incurred which is approximately 10 cents per page and the time spent obtaining and printing out the documents. Because of the way documents are stored, it is not a push the button and the paper come out type proposition. It will take a little while to do this. You should contact a law firm that practices bankruptcy law and it should be able to do this for you easily. The other option is to contact the Bankruptcy Court where your case was filed, but, I think you find it much more expensive to get a copy of the file.

Call the bankruptcy court and ask for a copy of the documents filed in your case. They will tell you what the cost will be for the documents.

They can be obtained from the Clerk of the Bankruptcy Court or any attorney that subscribes to a service called PACER.

Depending on the year that you filed you could go to another attorney and they can download the records for you and there is a small fee or you could go to the courthouse where you filed and get a copy for a small fee.

You can go to the bankruptcy court and get copies. If it is too far, I would call and ask.

Contact the court where your case was filed. There will be a fee. If you can go in person it will be less than ordering them. If your case was a long time ago, the papers may be archived and will have to be ordered. If they were filed electronically, then it should be quick and simple.
