Bankruptcy is an agonizing moment but perfect handling of the rather dingy situation can still salvage some points for you. Agreed, that you might not be eligible in the eye of credit agencies in future, but you will be over your debts and associated trauma. First, you have to get a legal counsel who can handle the matter for you.

He has to apply the case in the federal court. Federal courts came into the picture as various state courts had different laws and uniformity was required. Such courts have plenipotentiary powers to reverse a state court verdict.

Next, it has to be assessed whether the bankruptcy case should fall within the civil division or the criminal division. Nearly all the cases fall within the civil ambit. Yes, if the money earned through criminal attempts is being referred to in the bankruptcy case, then it might be otherwise.

After determining it, the case is being put on the docket and the attorney for the debtor contests the case with the creditors.
