Why should I hire an attorney to file bankruptcy?
The U.S. Trustee for the District of Utah is currently investigating Bankruptcy Petition Preparers, as well as those people who attempt to proceed on a pro se basis (without an Attorney). The government has indicted approximately 28 different people over the past several months for Bankruptcy Crimes; based mostly on the fact that Debtors were not fully informed of the consequences associated with incomplete or inaccurate disclosure on their initial bankruptcy documents. These investigations continue. If you were flagged for investigation, the U.S. Trustee would require you to complete additional questionnaires and paperwork, and would subject you to more intense questioning from the at the First Meeting of Creditors. Also, there's always the additional stress and emotion associated with not knowing the legal procedures. You can be sure your creditors will have legal counsel working for them, trying to take advantage of every situation they can. If you have to file, why not make sure you get the most from your Bankruptcy? These reasons all add up to the fact you would be better prepared if you chose to engage our office instead. Besides, most people find that they pay just as much to do it themselves, as they would if our more qualified attorneys handle the case for them.
