The law does not require you to hire a lawyer to file for bankruptcy. The reason you hire a bankruptcy lawyer is that a lawyer has the knowledge and experience to navigate the legal system. Bankruptcy filings involve a great deal of paperwork that must be filed accurately and on time. The courts do not give you special treatment if you file on your own.
If you file bankruptcy on your own, you will be responsible to do the following:
- Follow the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure and conform to all Bankruptcy Code regulations.
- Accurately disclose all assets – failure to do so may result in a fraud investigation, fines and jail time.
- Complete all forms accurately – mistakes may result in the loss of assets and you will be held responsible.
- File all documents on time – a missed deadline may result in dismissal of your bankruptcy filing.
Hiring one of our experienced lawyers allows you to avoid these negative consequences. We will do everything in our power to provide you with the financial relief you require.
The Benefits Of Hiring A Lawyer
First and foremost, working with a lawyer reduces your stress. After filing your bankruptcy petition, your creditors are forced by law to stop bothering you and speak only to us – no more harassing phone calls. We also help make sure you can stay in your home and guard your personal property. You will be on a path to avoid pitfalls in the bankruptcy process and erase your debt.
