You may have heard of people who have handled a bankruptcy process on their own. While it is possible to do this, you’ll need to be very clear on just how difficult this process can be without the help of a legal professional such as Bankruptcy Attorneys. It’s likely that if you’re considering bankruptcy, you’ll have plenty of stress to deal with in your own life and the last thing you want to do is take on a complex and very detailed process of bankruptcy on your own. If you are considering trying to handle it yourself, you need to be very cautious of how you proceed.
One of the reasons why people choose attorneys that handle bankruptcy when they’re considering filing a petition for bankruptcy with the courts is because the process can be very complicated. Depending on the type of bankruptcy you’re petitioning the courts for, the initial petition that you have to file with the courts can be anywhere from 30 to 60 pages long. This is not one of those documents that you can afford to put a great deal of erroneous information whether you intend to or not. Fortunately, bankruptcy attorneys will have done this process many times and they can handle the petitioning with a great deal of efficiency and speed, something you may not be able to do.
In addition, bankruptcy attorneys understand the process of bankruptcy and they’ll understand what the court will require from their clients. They can help you in the process of making specific court dates and fulfilling all the wishes of the courts as it relates to discharging your bankruptcy.
If you’re still intent on trying to handle the bankruptcy yourself, you’re well within your rights to do so. You’ll certainly spend less money, but the amount of time, the complexity and the hassle of bankruptcy for somebody who doesn’t have the experience or the training may not be worth the money saved. Your best option, especially if you are seriously considering bankruptcy because of your dire financial situation is to contact Carlton Legal Services as soon as possible. You can speak with one of their Bankruptcy Attorneys, discuss your situation and they can give you all the information on their services in order to have them represent you when you file a petition with the court’s for bankruptcy.
