Risks of Filing for Bankruptcy Alone
One key component of the American dream for many people is the attainment of financial independence. The goal of being able to comfortably afford one’s expenses while having enough time and money to accommodate the pursuit of leisure and other interests is unfortunately reserved for few fortunate individuals. Instead, most families live from paycheck to paycheck, and an increasing number of persons are finding themselves in a position where they are unable to keep up with their financial obligations and the mounting pressure from debt collectors.
Filing for bankruptcy protection can help to alleviate much of the strain brought about by financial distress, but it is important that a bankruptcy filing is handled correctly throughout the duration of the case. An initial bankruptcy filing can be made without the assistance of an attorney, but this can create an unnecessary risk of complications that might lead to the rejection of your petition or the later dismissal of your case.

Dangers of Filing Independently
The bankruptcy process and the laws that govern it are quite intricate and can be very confusing for a person who is unfamiliar with the specific terminology and procedure of these matters. Working with an attorney can help you to avoid the following dangers that could affect the outcome of your case if you were to file independently:
- Failure to pay necessary fees and costs in a timely manner
- Failure to file all necessary documentation
- Failure to comply with deadlines for various actions
- Procedural or clerical errors in the initial filing
- Attempting to file under a disadvantageous chapter of the Bankruptcy Code
