Q: Do i need a lawyer for bankruptcy?
A:
The bankruptcy code is fairly complex and generally most people recommend against filing without a lawyer. Wisconsin has some alternatives that are available in state courts to deal with unsecured creditors through Wis. Stat. Ch. 128. The uscourts has some informative videos about the bankruptcy process available here: http://www.youtube.com/user/uscourts

A: Yes, only an attorney is licensed to practice law. Would you let a plumber perform open heart surgery on you? A lot of things can go wrong with even a simple bankruptcy. Good luck.
