Bankruptcy FAQs

Can I File Bankruptcy by Myself?

You are not required to have a lawyer to file bankruptcy, but if you don't know the law you can find yourself facing unintended results, including losing some of your assets or having your bankruptcy case dismissed.

Despite what some do-it-yourself web sites say, the new bankruptcy law is complicated and it requires you to fill out hard to understand legal documents, and take exact steps. Each person is different, and each case is different.
