You can find yourself or your business facing bankruptcy from loss of your job, medical illness costs, even with insurance, too much debt or the economic meltdown affecting many businesses, through no fault of your own.

While you have the right to represent yourself in the bankruptcy court, the Bankruptcy Code, Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure and Local Rules of Practice are very complex. 

1. Mistakes can be costly and most non-attorneys are not sufficiently knowledgeable in the law to successfully represent themselves.
2. Individuals filing bankruptcy without legal representation are responsible for knowing the requirements of the Bankruptcy Code and rules and will be given no special consideration by the Court. 
3. Missing a deadline, failing to perform a required act, or failing to properly respond to an action may result in dismissal of your case, denial of your discharge, or the loss of property which you might otherwise be entitled to keep.
4. Every person contemplating the filing a bankruptcy petition should, therefore, seriously consider seeking the advice of competent legal counsel.

To answer the question of whether or not bankruptcy is right for you will depend on your individual circumstances.  An initial consultation should be adequate to make that assessment. To obtain the debt relief that you are entitled requires that you provide complete, accurate and truthful information. If right for your situation, bankruptcy will provide debt relief and peace of mind that comes with a fresh start.
