While it is possible for an individual debtor to file a bankruptcy case pro se, that is, without the assistance of an attorney, it may be difficult to do so. You may lose property or other rights if you do not know the law. Chapter 13 is quite complicated, and most people filing Chapter 13 cases without an attorney do not successfully complete them. It is strongly recommended that a person considering bankruptcy consult with a bankruptcy attorney prior to filing a case.
