That depends totally on your concept of time. If you adhere to the quantum time school of thought then obviously the least amount of time between retaining a lawyer and filing for bankruptcy would be one unit of time, which would be quite small, so you'd have to move pretty quickly - faster than a leopard even. However if you adopt the concept that time is a continuum and not comprised of discrete units then there is no limit on how small the interval could be between retaining a lawyer and filing for bankruptcy. Actually that's a lie, a complete, utter, total lie. Regardless of the method of measuring time, the limit still depends on the speed of light. As any message from brain to limbs causing you to perform any action (yes, I am aware it is a chemical impulse not travelling at the speed of light but we are dealing with the concept of minimising the time involved - get with the program) and as you would need to travel from your lawyer's chambers to the bankruptcy registry at no faster than the speed of light, this puts a limit on the smallest possible time between retaining a lawyer and filing for bankruptcy. Then you have to factor in the slothlike actions of the clerk at the bankruptcy registry. However if we are considering the maximum possible time then that is obviously your life expectancy. I am aware that certain personal legal representative and estate matters may be affected after your death, but the question was framed to imply that the actual person was doing the retaining of the lawyer and the filing for bankruptcy so the life-span of the person involved is the maximum time.

What can you do if you just recently had a chapter 7 bankruptcy then soon after had your car repossessed?
Usually a car you are still driving cannot be included in a chapter 7 unless it is turned back into the finance company because it is considered an asset that, if sold, could help pay off your other debts. If you do not include it in the bankruptcy, you are under the same obligation to make payments and if you don't then the car gets repo'd. If you file for bankruptcy the first thing I would do is talk to your lawyer about the options open to you if you want to keep your car.
