Legal Question in Bankruptcy in Pennsylvania

Bankruptcy 101 : Pennsylvania

If I use a bankruptcy document package from the net, will I need a lawyer at some point during the process?

I consider myself competent and self-relying and have handled legal matters by myself before, such as immigration.

Also, when is the deadline for processing a bankruptcy case under the old laws?

Thank you.

Re: Bankruptcy 101 : Pennsylvania

The new bankruptcy law goes into effect October 17th this year. The benefit of a lawyer is that a mistake in your bankruptcy filing might fail to extinguish a debt in excess of the fees you would pay an attorney. I would therefore recommend you speak to an attorney as soon as possible. I offer free consultations.
