Do I Need a Bankruptcy Attorney?
New bankruptcy laws have made filing for personal bankruptcy not only more expensive, but also more complicated. Bankruptcy attorneys now have to spend more time on means testing and validating the accuracy of each client's bankruptcy filings. It is not required that you hire a bankruptcy attorney prior to filing for personal bankruptcy, but the changes in the law have made completing bankruptcy on your own more complicated. A qualified bankruptcy attorney can make sure your financial situation is evaluated accurately, help schedule all court appearance and complete all necessary bankruptcy documentation.
