If you are considering filing for bankruptcy, you may want to talk with a bankruptcy attorney in your area.
While you can file for bankruptcy protection without the assistance of a bankruptcy attorney, the process can very complicated because of the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act (BAPCPA) of 2005.
Since so many changes have been made to bankruptcy law, now more than ever using a bankruptcy attorney can make the whole process easier for you to navigate.

Once you are connected to a bankruptcy attorney in your area, he or she will evaluate your situation and help you understand the difference between a Chapter 7 filing and a Chapter 13 filing, plus the requirements for each.
After becoming familiar with your specific situation, a bankruptcy lawyer can help you decide whether Chapter 7 bankruptcy or Chapter 13 bankruptcy better suits your needs.
A bankruptcy attorney will also be able to explain the means test and how it will affect your bankruptcy filing.
As an advocate, a bankruptcy attorney can also make sure that you meet filing deadlines with the court and that you have all the information necessary to complete your pre- and post-filing credit counseling and debtor education courses at the right stage in your bankruptcy case.
A bankruptcy lawyer should also know of any exemptions in your particular state and will work with you to maximize those exemptions to your advantage.
