When Do You Need An Attorney?
Many Chapter 7 bankruptcies sail through the Bankruptcy process without a hitch. Consequently, while arguably not the most efficient and safest approach, filing Chapter 7 bankruptcy can be done without the aid of attorney. Still, debtors should really consider whether this represents the best option?
There are some specific circumstances in which a debtor should almost always consider hiring a bankruptcy attorney. For example, your average income for the last six months is more than your state’s median income, and it looks like you won’t pass the means test; you want to hold onto a house or motor vehicle; you want to get rid of student loan debt; the bankruptcy trustee seeks to have your whole case dismissed! These represent just few examples of why it’s very important for a debtor to decide whether they want to risk filing bankruptcy themselves, or hire an experienced bankruptcy attorney.
