Bankruptcy Without An Attorney

It's true, you don't need an attorney to file for bankruptcy. What do you think bankruptcy courts have to say about not using an attorney? Seriously, over time they've seen what happens to people who try to do it themselves. Perodically, we meet clients who tried it themselves and then got into a big mess. Getting such situations cleared up is not easy. In our opinion, it's just not worth it to try to go to court alone.

In case we haven't convinced you, you know that your case will be dismissed if you don't abide by the bankruptcy rules. Here's an simple example, did you know that within Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure it says that

If an individual debtor in a chapter 11, 12, or 13 case has claimed an exemption under § 522(b)(3)(A) in property of the kind described in § 522(p)(1) with a value in excess of the amount set out in § 522(q)(1), the debtor shall file a statement as to whether there is any proceeding pending in which the debtor may be found guilty of a felony of a kind described in § 522(q)(1)(A) or found liable for a debt of the kind described in § 522(q)(1)(B).

[Fed. R. Bankr. P. 1007(b)(8)]

Right. Of course. Well, We know what this means and how it may apply to your case. That's our job! We protect your interests and get you through your successful bankruptcy. Don't let your case get dismissed by not hiring an experienced bankruptcy attorney.
