Filing for Bankruptcy Without an Attorney
URL: http://www.uscourts.gov/bankruptcycourts/prose.html

Description:
This site explains that "[c]orporations and partnerships must have an attorney to file a bankruptcy case. Individuals, however, may represent themselves in bankruptcy court. While individuals can file a bankruptcy case without an attorney or 'pro se,' it is extremely difficult to do it successfully." Includes brief discussion with links on credit counseling, legal services, foreclosure, and petition preparers. From the U.S. Courts.
