Do I Need A Lawyer?


As in any court proceeding you have a right to represent yourself before the bankruptcy court. However, bankruptcy is a specialized and very complex area of the law. There are many factors that go into the decision of whether to file and if so, which type of bankruptcy best suits your needs. The right decision for you depends on an evaluation of you and your family’s needs, status, assets, and obligations. It is a very serious step that could affect you for the rest of your life. It is possible in bankruptcy that you could lose all of your assets and still come out owing all of your debts.

If you are contemplating a Chapter 11 or a Chapter 13 proceeding, then the need to be represented by an attorney is even greater as these proceedings have certain complexities in the law that make them extremely difficult for a non lawyer to successfully conclude. You want a lawyer experienced in bankruptcy to handle your case.
