The answer to this question is YES. The United States Bankruptcy Courts are in full compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act. When a hearing-impaired person files a bankruptcy case, the Court will provide a sign language interpreter for all required court appearances.
A debtor attorney can work easily with a hearing-impaired client by utilizing
tools such as a Client Information Worksheet and document checklist. If
a hearing-impaired client can complete the worksheet and checklist and
then come in for an office consultation with someone who speaks sign language,
the process can proceed smoothly. Most hearing-impaired clients are aware
of other important tools such as telephone interpreting services.
A disability is never an obstacle for a person to get a fresh financial
start in the United States Bankruptcy Courts.
