initial consultation

We assess your situation in numbers: whether you qualify for bankruptcy and what you would lose in the process.

Checking the grounds

The amount of debt, the length of delay, the property you own and any transactions in recent years. Based on this we say plainly whether the procedure suits you or not.

Choosing the procedure

Out-of-court is simpler and cheaper, but has strict conditions. Court bankruptcy is more accessible by criteria, but takes longer and involves a trustee.

Preparing the application

A full set: list of creditors, inventory of property, statements of income and transactions. Mistakes here mean the application is returned.

Working with creditors

Notifications, objections to inflated claims, checking the calculations of banks and debt collectors included in the register.

Interaction with the trustee

We support the entire dialogue: requests, reports, creditors' meetings. The client does not have to work out the procedure on their own.

Protection of property

The only home and essential items are not sold. We make sure nothing unnecessary ends up in the bankruptcy estate.

Challenging transactions

We examine transactions from previous years: the sale or gifting of property to relatives is almost always challenged by the administrator.

Completion and documents

The ruling on completion of the procedure, discharge of debt, certificates for banks and removal of restrictions.

We will check whether you need personal bankruptcy — free of charge and honestly

A third of those who approach us leave without a procedure: in some cases restructuring is cheaper, in others the debt can simply be recalculated. We will tell you this straight away.

Recent case stories from our lawyers in Almaty

Details have been changed and anonymised: the content of the case is protected by professional privilege.

Out-of-court

Debts on three microloans grew fivefold in two years

Situation: The client took out three small loans for medical treatment, lost her job and stopped paying. Over two years the amount grew from 400,000 to 2.1 million tenge due to interest and penalties. Debt collectors called daily, including her relatives and her sister's workplace.
What we did: We reviewed the terms of each agreement and the structure of the charges: part of the penalties had been charged above the permitted limit, and the fees had no basis. At the same time we assessed her financial position and confirmed that she qualified for the out-of-court procedure. We prepared and filed the application with the full set of documents.
Outcome: The procedure was completed and the debts were written off. The calls stopped from the moment the procedure was initiated — debt collectors are obliged to cease contact.

Court

A mortgage and three loans on an income that only covered the interest

Situation: The family was servicing a mortgage and three consumer loans. After their income dropped, the payments became unaffordable: almost the entire salary went on interest, and the principal never went down. Their only home was pledged to the bank, and the clients were afraid that bankruptcy would mean losing it.
What we did: We worked through three scenarios: restructuring at the bank, court bankruptcy, and continuing the payments. We showed them in figures that bankruptcy with a mortgaged home really does put the flat at risk, and first secured a restructuring of the mortgage, then took the consumer loans into the procedure.
Outcome: The mortgage was restructured with a reduced payment, and the consumer debts were written off in the procedure. The flat stayed with the family.

Refusal to go through the procedure

Bankruptcy was not in the client's interests, and we told him so straight

Situation: The man came in intending to file for bankruptcy: a debt of 1.8 million, hard to pay. At the same time he had an official income above average and property that would have gone into realisation.
What we did: We went through the structure of the debt and saw that half the amount was accrued penalties and commissions that would not stand up to scrutiny. Instead of the procedure, we prepared objections to the calculation and proposed a repayment schedule to the banks.
Outcome: The debt fell by almost 40% once the unjustified charges were removed, and the remainder was repaid under the schedule within a year. Bankruptcy was not needed, and the property stayed with him.

Debt after standing surety

The woman became a debtor on someone else's loan as a surety

Situation: The client had stood surety for a colleague on a loan of 4.8 million tenge. The borrower stopped paying and left the country, and the claim was brought against the surety in full, together with the penalty. The woman's own income only covered her current expenses, and she had no property to her name.
What we did: We checked the terms of the surety and the period for which it was given: part of the claims had been brought outside that period. On the remaining amount we assessed the grounds for bankruptcy and prepared the application, attaching information on the absence of property and on the default.
Outcome: Part of the claims fell away because of the surety period, and the rest of the debt was written off in the procedure. The client kept her job and her only home, which was held under a social tenancy.

Challenging a transaction

The flat was transferred to the son six months before the bankruptcy application

Situation: The man, having run up debts, transferred his flat to his adult son under a gift agreement, and six months later decided to file for bankruptcy. He only learned during the procedure that such transactions are scrutinised and challenged — the trustee filed a claim to have the gift declared invalid.
What we did: We went through the situation honestly: the transaction fell within the period that is scrutinised, and there was almost no chance of defending it. Instead of a hopeless dispute, we agreed with the creditors on returning the flat to the bankruptcy estate and settling part of the claims from its sale, with the remainder dealt with through the procedure.
Outcome: A debt of 11.2 million tenge was closed, and no further claims arose against the son. The client was given an explanation of why moving assets out before bankruptcy makes things worse rather than saving them.

A creditor's objection

One creditor objected to the procedure, citing bad faith

Situation: The client had six creditors; five took the procedure calmly, but one raised objections: he claimed the loan had been taken without any intention of repaying it and asked that the debtor not be released from his obligations. This concerned a loan taken two months before the first default.
What we did: We reconstructed the timeline from the documents: on the date the loan was taken the client was employed, his income was confirmed, and the default began after a redundancy and a documented illness. We submitted the employment records, the redundancy order and the medical documents, showing that the circumstances had changed after the transaction.
Outcome: The objections were dismissed, and the debtor was released from his obligations on all the claims. The procedure took about seven months.

Joint debts

The spouses filed separate applications, but the debts were joint

Situation: The family had taken out loans for the two of them: some were in the husband's name, some in the wife's, and under certain agreements the spouses acted as co-borrowers. Each filed an application independently and at different times, so the procedures ran out of step, and creditors submitted the same claims twice.
What we did: We brought the picture together into a single table: who was the borrower, who was the co-borrower, which property was jointly owned, and which claims overlapped. We agreed the approach with the administrators in both procedures so that the property would be valued once, and removed the duplicate claims under the co-borrowing agreements.
Outcome: Both procedures concluded a month apart, and the total claims fell by 3.4 million by removing the duplicates. The family came out of the procedure with no property claims against them.

Restoration of solvency

What suited the client was a recovery plan, not bankruptcy

Situation: A man with a debt of 7.6 million tenge and a stable income wanted to file for bankruptcy because "that's what everyone does". At the same time he had a flat under mortgage that he did not want to lose, and a job with a declared salary that would allow him to service the debt if the payment schedule were revised.
What we did: We calculated both scenarios and showed him the figures: in bankruptcy he would lose the flat and face restrictions for years to come, while in restoration of solvency he would keep his home in exchange for a longer repayment period. We prepared a plan with a schedule, agreed it with the creditors and presented it in the procedure.
Outcome: The plan was approved and the flat stayed with the family. The monthly payment dropped by almost half thanks to the extended term, and the creditors wrote off part of the penalties during the negotiations.

Lawyer for personal bankruptcy: who the procedure suits and how it ends

Dmitry Kim Lawyer for financial disputes

Published: 5 August 2026 Updated: 16 September 2026

A person comes in with the same thought: the debts are bigger than he could ever repay. Debt collectors call his relatives, the bank has gone to court, enforcement proceedings drag on for years, and part of his income goes to deductions. In such a situation it is easy to make one of two mistakes — to keep paying in circles for years, hoping to settle up, or, on the contrary, to rush into the first procedure that comes along without checking whether it fits.

A mistake is also costly because bankruptcy is not the only way out, nor a universal one. Sometimes it is more advantageous to recalculate the debt, agree on instalments, or challenge excessive interest and penalties. And sometimes the procedure really is started, but poorly prepared — with spoiled documents, assets moved out, transactions that are later set aside. Let us go through it in order: where bankruptcy is appropriate, and where a person will only lose time and money.

When a lawyer for personal bankruptcy is needed, and when not

Personal bankruptcy is not a universal cure for debts. In our experience, roughly one in three people who come to us does not need the procedure: the obligations can be closed through restructuring, a deferral, or a recalculation of penalties and interest. At the first consultation, a lawyer for personal bankruptcy assesses whether there is any point in going to court, or whether it is more sensible to agree a change of payment schedule with the creditor.

The procedure is justified when the debt clearly exceeds the value of the property, the defaults have lasted a long time, and the income does not even cover the interest. A good lawyer for personal bankruptcy first looks at what the debt consists of: sometimes part of the penalties and commissions can be challenged or written off without going to court. If the creditors have already gone to court, court enforcement officers are at work, and the property is under threat — bankruptcy becomes a real way out. A legal consultation on bankruptcy helps you understand which path suits you specifically.

The debt exceeds the value of the property and the income.
The defaults have dragged on, and creditors are applying pressure through the courts.
There is a risk of losing your only home or your car.
Restructuring is getting nowhere because of the interest.

The bankruptcy procedure for a citizen: out-of-court and judicial

The procedure is established by the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan on Restoration of Solvency and Bankruptcy of Citizens of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

The procedure is established by the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan on Restoration of Solvency and Bankruptcy of Citizens of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The procedure is established by the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan on Restoration of Solvency and Bankruptcy of Citizens of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Out-of-court bankruptcy of an individual suits those who have no property to settle with creditors and no disputes: the debt is recognised as hopeless, and the bankruptcy procedure for a citizen goes through the authorised body and takes several months. Judicial bankruptcy is already a court hearing, where transactions, property and the debtor's good faith are examined; it usually lasts from six months to a year, and drags on longer where there is property and disputes with creditors.

Personal bankruptcy cases are taken through the court where transactions need to be challenged or property realised. The out-of-court track is not suitable for that. Separately, the law provides for restoration of solvency: a debtor with a regular income keeps his property and settles with creditors under a plan approved by the court.

A company with debts is bankrupted under a different law — the procedures for individuals are not available to it

How much does a lawyer for personal bankruptcy cost

Payment for personal bankruptcy services does not come down to a single figure for filing an application. When people compare how much a lawyer for personal bankruptcy costs, the calculation takes in the whole scope of work: from the initial analysis of debts and a bankruptcy consultation to supporting the procedure through to completion. The price of personal bankruptcy is made up of the preparation of documents and the number of creditors that will have to be dealt with.

The cost of a turnkey bankruptcy depends on how tangled the situation with property, transactions and income is, whether there are disputes with court enforcement officers and objections from creditors. The price of personal bankruptcy also includes work with the financial manager, participation in court hearings, and preparation of the inventory of property. Firms dealing with personal bankruptcy calculate this workload differently, but the set of stages is usually the same:

analysis of loans, borrowings and debts
preparation of the application and the inventory of property
conduct of the bankruptcy court case
interaction with the manager and creditors

Bankruptcy with and without preservation of property: what is important to know

The presence of property does not remove the possibility of bankruptcy itself, but it changes the course of the case. Bankruptcy without property is simpler: the absence of property is confirmed by the court enforcement officer — the enforcement document is returned to the claimant, and creditors cannot count on repayment through sale. Bankruptcy with preservation of property requires more delicate work: the law protects some items from realisation, the rest are inventoried, valued and put up for auction, and the dispute over what exactly falls into the estate is decided in court. That is why, before filing an application, it is important to understand what property the debtor has and what will happen to it.

The only home, as a rule, cannot be taken away — it is not subject to realisation. The exception is a flat under mortgage: it is the subject of a pledge, and this requires separate analysis. In other cases, the debtor should collect in advance the documents confirming the status of the home so that it is not included in the estate.

There is property: the financial manager inventories it, carries out a valuation, organises the auction, and the proceeds are directed to the creditors.
There is no property: the absence of property is confirmed by the court enforcement officer — the enforcement document is returned to the claimant, and this opens the way to the out-of-court procedure.
Disputed property: if a creditor insists on including an item in the estate, the matter is decided by the court, and the debtor needs support.

Lawyer for personal bankruptcy: which debts will not be written off

The discharge of debts is not unlimited. Alimony, compensation for harm to life and health, and claims arising from intentional infliction of damage remain with the person even after the procedure is completed. These obligations are tied to personal rights and intentional actions, so the law does not allow release from them.

Everything else, where the conduct is in good faith, is written off. Legal assistance in bankruptcy is needed in order to assess the composition of the debts correctly and not lose the chance of discharge. If the case shows signs of bad faith, creditors raise objections, and then a legal consultation on personal bankruptcy helps to build a defence. Firms dealing with personal bankruptcy and individual lawyers in Almaty start precisely with an analysis of the obligations: what will be written off and what will remain.

Alimony — not written off
Compensation for harm to life and health — not written off
Intentional infliction of damage — not written off
Other debts, where conduct is in good faith, are written off

Intentional bankruptcy of an individual and challenging transactions

If the debtor transferred an apartment, a car or a share in a business to relatives before filing the application, this will almost always come to light. The administrator reviews transactions from previous years and challenges those concluded in the run-up to bankruptcy. The property is returned to the estate, and the discharge from debts may be refused.

Deliberate bankruptcy of an individual is not only the risk of losing transferred property. Challenging a transaction means creditors will be satisfied out of the returned assets, and the debtor will lose the discharge. That is why, before starting the procedure, it is worth honestly assessing one's actions and getting bankruptcy advice in order to understand which transactions will be reviewed first. Bankruptcy of individuals — a lawyer's help is also needed to properly build a defence in respect of transactions already made and not to harm oneself with new ones.

The review covers transactions for several years before the application is filed.
Gifts, sales at an undervalue and transfers to close relatives are challenged.
Returning the property to the estate makes the whole discharge procedure pointless.
Legal services for individuals here include analysing each transaction and preparing objections.

Will calls from debt collectors stop after the procedure starts

The start of the procedure changes the balance of power: from that moment creditors file their claims only within the bankruptcy case, and separate enforcement proceedings are suspended. Debt collectors lose any reason to call and write to the debtor directly — their claims move into the common register. In practice this means the phone stops ringing off the hook, and the pressure on the debtor and their family fades away.

If the calls continue after the documents are filed, this is no longer debt collection but a breach of procedure — such facts are recorded: a recording of the conversation, correspondence, the date and number of the call. These materials are added to the case, and the persistence of the debt collectors turns against them. Legal services for bankruptcy include this work too: handling correspondence with creditors, monitoring suspended enforcement proceedings with a private or state court enforcement officer. Bankruptcy of individuals with the help of a lawyer relieves a person of the need to explain themselves to every caller. Below is what exactly stops automatically:

Calls and messages from debt collectors and banks stop.

Enforcement proceedings on old debts are suspended.

Creditors' claims are considered only through the bankruptcy procedure.

New claims and deductions on these debts do not proceed outside the case.

Turnkey bankruptcy: bankruptcy lawyers and advocates in one practice

Turnkey bankruptcy means that all correspondence with banks, microfinance organisations, debt collectors and the financial administrator is handled by lawyers and advocates. The client only needs to collect the documents and sign the prepared papers. If you are looking for an advocate for the bankruptcy of individuals, it is important to understand: a bankruptcy advocate and a bankruptcy lawyer work together, so the services of a bankruptcy advocate are not limited to court hearings.

Turnkey bankruptcy of individuals removes the need to personally answer calls and letters from creditors: the advocate handles communication with them. This approach saves time and reduces the risk of mistakes in correspondence. Below are the tasks the specialist covers.

Preparation and filing of the bankruptcy application with the court
Handling correspondence with banks, MFOs and debt collectors
Interaction with the financial administrator
Representation at hearings and in negotiations

Bankruptcy of individuals and legal entities: lawyers for the bankruptcy of legal entities

Bankruptcy of individuals and legal entities are two different legal institutions with dissimilar objectives. A citizen goes through the procedure as a consumer: the court reviews transactions, income and good faith, and the outcome is a discharge from obligations. A company is made bankrupt in order to settle with creditors out of its property; the managers do not get a personal discharge of debts.

The choice of route depends on who owes. An insolvent citizen needs a lawyer for the bankruptcy of individuals: he runs the case, prepares the application, and supports the challenging of transactions. When the problem concerns a company, lawyers for the bankruptcy of legal entities are required: protection from creditors, assessment of the risks of subsidiary liability. Bankruptcy of legal entities and of citizens is united only by the goal — to stop the growth of debt. Before starting, consultations on bankruptcy are essential:

An individual: discharge of debts through court or an out-of-court procedure.
A company: liquidation by a court decision or with the consent of creditors.
Personal bankruptcy does not release you from the debts of an organisation.
Bankruptcy of legal entities does not automatically write off the debts of a director.
Assistance with filing for bankruptcy begins with an assessment of the debtor's status.

Can you go through bankruptcy without a lawyer for personal bankruptcy

Formally, it is possible to go through bankruptcy with no property and without the help of a specialist: the law does not require a lawyer to be involved, and a citizen is entitled to collect the documents and file the application themselves. In practice, everything comes down to the details. Applications are returned when the list of creditors is incomplete or the inventory of property is drawn up inaccurately, and the court requires confirmation of every fact.

Errors in transactions over recent years are the most common reason for refusing to write off debts: an incorrect assessment of a transaction, a missed deadline for challenging it, the absence of supporting documents. That is why, before filing, it is worth finding a lawyer for personal bankruptcy and going through your situation: a good lawyer for personal bankruptcy sees the risk of refusal before the court does, and a bankruptcy lawyer in Almaty knows how local courts assess inventories and transactions.

Incomplete list of creditors — the application is returned
Inaccurate inventory of property — the court requests confirmation
Disputed transactions from previous years — risk of refusal to write off
Income and expenses not supported by documents

Services of a lawyer for personal bankruptcy: documents and conduct of the case

At the start of the procedure, a package of documents is assembled: identity card, IIN, certificates of income and pension contributions, statements on accounts and loan agreements, information on property and transactions over recent years, details of family and place of registration. If the person worked or had the status of an individual entrepreneur, tax reporting and documents on obligations will be needed, including enforcement proceedings with a private or state court enforcement officer.

The support then covers the entire course of the case: analysis of the debt, preparation of the application, correspondence with banks and the administrator, protection of interests in court and monitoring of enforcement. Legal services for personal bankruptcy are built around the client receiving an analysis of their situation and a clear plan, rather than general promises. Over the years of practice, more than 90 procedures have been handled — both out-of-court and court bankruptcy.

Initial analysis of debts, transactions and property
Collection and verification of the package of documents
Drafting the application and filing it with the court
Correspondence with banks, creditors and the administrator
Representation in court and at meetings with creditors

Who does what at each stage
Stage	Task	Who handles it
Preparation	Analysis of debts and collection of documents	Client and lawyer
Application	Preparation and filing	Lawyer
Dealing with creditors	Banks, debt collectors, trustee	Lawyer
Court	Defending the position	Lawyer and advocate
Completion	Monitoring compliance	Lawyer

The volume of documents depends on the composition of debts and the presence of property.

Lawyer for personal bankruptcy: consequences and consultation

Once the personal bankruptcy procedure is completed, legal consequences follow that are important to consider in advance. For several years, when applying for credit, a person must disclose that they have undergone bankruptcy. This does not affect employment, but the law restricts access to new loans for several years and prohibits undergoing the procedure again.

To understand which consequences of personal bankruptcy will affect you specifically, you need a consultation with a personal bankruptcy lawyer. A legal consultation on personal bankruptcy helps assess the risks, examine your debt situation and choose between the procedure and the other options mentioned above. Consultations on personal bankruptcy are held before the case begins: the earlier you examine your circumstances, the fewer mistakes and losses there will be. During the consultation it also becomes clear what the procedure offers and what to expect after it is completed.

The obligation to disclose bankruptcy when applying for credit for several years
The procedure can only be undergone again after the period established by law has expired
Employment is generally not restricted

Consequences after completion of the bankruptcy procedure
Consequence	What it involves	What it affects
Notification of bankruptcy	When applying for credit, the procedure must be disclosed	Banks and creditors
Repeat bankruptcy	A new procedure can only be started after the period established by law has expired	Possibility of repeat discharge
Employment	Generally not restricted	Hiring
Term	Several years	Duration of consequences

The consequences last for several years; their scope depends on the specific situation and the completion of the case.

First check whether the procedure suits you and what will happen to your property, and only then decide whether to start it. Rushing and trying to hide assets harm the debtor more than the debt itself.

Serik B. 12 August 2026

Four loans and two microloans, I stopped paying back in 2024, because after being made redundant at work I simply didn't have the strength to keep pulling all of it. I looked for a lawyer because I was afraid of getting lost in the paperwork myself and missing something important. We went through the court procedure in ten months, the debt was written off, it was morally hard, but they did everything on the documents for me
