In July 2009, I blogged about “Things I Won’t Do” which includes taking what I know will be someone’s last buck to file a bankruptcy case that I know will fail… and there seems to be this level of agnst that I cannot help them. I’ve received a few calls lately from folks who have not read it. So I’m posting it again with the reminder that I’m in the business of helping people move forward in their lives.
Or as I said recently to someone, “I’m a bankruptcy lawyer. I cannot turn water into wine.”
When faced with a foreclosure, most people will consider a Chapter 13 filing. But I have been hearing some rumblings here and there that many people seeking protection under Chapter 13 are opting to go it alone, without an attorney. While certainly people have the right to represent themselves, there is no good reason to not hire an attorney for a Chapter 13.. In an effort to drive my point home, I have identified here the Top Ten Reasons Why You Should Not File Chapter 13 Without an Attorney. I’ve also done so while still hoping to leave a smile on your face.
May we hear a drum roll!
