Virginia Bankruptcy Courts - Eastern District

The Virginia Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District is comprised of four divisions serving 37 counties. The district accounted for approximately 54% of state wide filings. The 2007 case volume, divided by chapter, was as follows:

The Eastern District maintains divisional offices in Alexandria, Newport News, Norfolk and Richmond. The District's jurisdiction extends over the counties of Accomack, Amelia, Arlington, Brunswick, Caroline, Charles City, Charles, Chesterfield, Culpepper, Dinwiddie, Essex, Fairfax, Fauquier, Gloucester, Goochland, Greensville, Hanover, Henrico, Isle of Wight, James City, King and Queen, King George, King, William, Lancaster, Loudoun, Louisa, Lunenburg, Mathews, Mecklenburg, Middlesex, New Kent, Northampton, Northumberland, Nottoway, Orange, Powhatan, Prince Edward, Prince George, Prince William, Richmond, Southampton, Spotsylvania, Stafford, Surry, Sussex, Westmoreland and York County.

The Eastern District provides copies of records, local rules, schedules and official filing instructions. The instructions provided are general, and are not a substitutive for legal advice. For instance, the information provided does not adequately explain the benefits and burdens of each chapter for debtors or the long term effect of filing. The Code is specific: judges, clerks and personnel are prohibited from providing what may be construed as legal advice. This rule of law applies equally to debtors, creditors and parties in interest. With new laws looming on the horizon, now, more than ever before, qualified legal advice is a necessity before initiating any suit. County bar associations all typically provide referrals to local attorneys.
