CAN I FILE BANKRUPTCY WITHOUT AN ATTORNEY?

Current law permits individuals to file their own cases and to represent their own interests in bankruptcy proceedings. However, it may not be wise for you to do so.

Any bankruptcy case can become a complicated matter requiring both knowledge of the law and experience before the court to successfully complete. In order to file a case, you will need to know (among other things) the differences between the types of bankruptcies which can be filed, the types of exemptions which can be taken and the differences between secured and unsecured debts.

As your case progresses, many other areas of law and knowledge may be involved. Decisions made without an understanding of basic bankruptcy law can have serious consequences including the loss of property and legal rights. Only an attorney may file a bankruptcy for a partnership or corporation.

Even if an individual is the sole shareholder or the managing partner, that person may not represent the corporation or partnership before the bankruptcy court.
