Q: I need a bankruptcy paralegal to assist me with my form, how can I find one in Orlando, Fl in Orange County?
I have a case number started.
A: Paralegals can only provide forms and cannot give legal advice. The bankruptcy courts have pro bono (free) clinics. Make an appointment with the clinic at the Middle District of Florida courthouse in downtown Orlando.
Timothy Denison agrees with this answer
A: You need a bankruptcy lawyer, not a paralegal. Check with your local bar association or legal aid society.
A:
Filing for bankruptcy can feel overwhelming, and having professional help is important for navigating the process smoothly. I understand you already have a case number, which is a good start.
To find qualified bankruptcy paralegals in Orange County, Orlando, you can begin by contacting the Orange County Bar Association's Lawyer Referral Service at (407) 422-4537. They often maintain lists of legal professionals, including paralegals. You might also reach out to Legal Aid Society of the Orange County Bar Association, which provides resources and referrals for legal assistance.
Another helpful approach would be to contact local bankruptcy law firms directly, as they often employ experienced paralegals who may be available to help with your forms. Additionally, the Middle District of Florida Bankruptcy Court's website offers resources and contact information for legal assistance programs. Remember to verify any paralegal's credentials and experience with bankruptcy cases before proceeding, and consider asking about their fee structure during your initial consultation.
