Do I Need an Attorney to File My Bankruptcy Petition?
Submitted by the Bond & Botes Law Offices - Thursday, December 20, 2012
You are not required to have an attorney to file bankruptcy and you are permitted to prepare your petition yourself or pay someone to prepare the documents for you. You should be very careful with trying to represent yourself or trusting another non-attorney to prepare your petition. Quite often, those that wish to represent themselves have to attend multiple hearings that are unnecessary had they just filed the petition correctly from the beginning.
