As Chapter 13 Trustee for the Middle District of Florida, I serve many people facing critical decisions that can affect their family, business and their own personal well being. Having access to important information can be helpful at such a time, and can make a difference in understanding the options and resources available to you through our office.

    This Website is provided to assist you as you navigate through what can be a very stressful time in your life, and help you to understand the processes of Chapter 13 Bankruptcy, and how it can work for you.

     We will do our best to provide you with helpful links, maps, forms and other resources and, hopefully, answer questions that may arise in the process of your case should you choose to file for bankruptcy protection.

     If you are a creditor or creditors attorney there will also be many resources and links to pertinent case information that you may  need as the case proceeds through the system.

acts as a facilitator for both debtor and creditor, as well as a contact point for the attorneys of both parties. Part of duty is to supply the courts with correct information, thus assisting the judges in the process of discovery. We remain neutral, but act on behalf of both debtor and creditor.

     We have included contact e-mail information to our office for your convenience. Hopefully you will be able to answer most of your questions from the information and resources we have provided for you on this website.  

     Because the task at hand is often complex and time consuming we do not encourage personal visits to our office, as I'm sure you can understand.

     With this in mind we welcome you to our website and hope that your time spent here will be helpful, educational and enjoyable.

Sincerely Yours,

                               Laurie Weatherford, Trustee
