Bankruptcy Lawyers

While some consumers choose to file bankruptcy on their own — called “pro se” — the likelihood that their debts will be successfully discharged in the bankruptcy court is much lower than if they’d consulted with a qualified bankruptcy lawyer. He or she will be able to assess your financial situation, guide you through the bankruptcy exemptions applicable to where you live and what types of debt you have, and advise you on whether to choose to file for Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy protection. The overall cost of filing bankruptcy is lower with an attorney, too, because you generally won’t have to worry about the fees associated with re-filing your bankruptcy case. Although National Bankruptcy Forum is designed as a comprehensive resource for consumers looking for basic bankruptcy information, we strongly advise you to not use Google or this site to just go ahead and file your case by yourself — ask a bankruptcy lawyer instead.
