FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Do I need an attorney to file for bankruptcy?

You do not need to use an attorney to file for Chapter 7 or Chapter 13.  Any one of the kits found on this site will help you file your petition pro se. 

If you choose a bankruptcy petition preparer to help you with your documents you will need to have an understanding of the process and we recommend starting with a free manual, Bankruptcy BASICS

A document preparer is well worth the cost but there are some things only you or an attorney can decide, such as which chapter to file and what exemptions to choose to protect your assets.  As per congress only you or an attorney can make these choices.

While the information presented on our bankruptcy pages is accurate as of the date written, it should not be cited or relied upon as authority. It should not be used as a substitute for reference to the United States Bankruptcy Code (11 U.S.C.) and/or the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure, both which may be reviewed at local libraries, or to the rules of practice adopted by each bankruptcy court which may be found on each court’s web site. Finally, this website should not be a substitute for legal advice as we are independent paralegals and cannot nor will give legal advice.
