www.chicagomoneylawyer.com Everyone has the right to represent themselves if they want to, however, in any legal case but in a bankruptcy especially, there are a lot of landmines. I’ve seen people represent themselves and put themselves in the wrong chapter of bankruptcy. Example of this is the person didn’t want to hire an attorney, they went ahead and filed a chapter 7 on their own, of course not knowing that their home, because it was paid in full, put them over their exemptions and the chapter 7 trustee took their home and sold it and that person had equity of $250000. I don’t recommend filing bankruptcy on your own, I recommend seeking out an attorney that specializes in the area because you can do yourself more harm than good.
