The rules governing bankruptcy are complex. There are
many documents which need to be filed and numerous deadlines to be met.
Many debtors who start their cases without legal representation soon find
themselves in a position where they need legal advice.
From the attorney’s standpoint, it is much easier to
review a potential client’s case prior to filing than to rework a case which
has already been filed with the court. If the case is filed correctly the
first time, the case will move more smoothly through the bankruptcy process
than if multiple corrections need to be completed.
Furthermore, there are requirements to produce a volume
of documents to the Trustee’s office which support the claims made in the
petition and schedules. Experienced lawyers will know what is required
prior to filing a case, and will have provided these documents to the
appropriate parties prior to any hearings.
An experienced attorney will also know how to list and
protect the debtor’s assets. These exemptions can be confusing if you are
not familiar with the bankruptcy code. Those of us who practice in this
area of law can all recall at least one instance when a debtor chose to
represent themselves, didn’t protect a piece of property, and had the
Trustee’s office attempt to collect the property to sell it for the benefit
of creditors. This does NOT have to be the case.
