An attorney can offer you protection in three ways: from creditors, from uncertainty and from what you don't know. If you are in danger of financial failure, then you are likely already being hounded by creditors. When you file for bankruptcy and inform your creditors that you have retained counsel, all calls must be directed to your lawyer at that point. Many lawyers will even take the time to call the collectors and have them stop calling you

Filing a bankruptcy petition is not an easy process. You need to communicate with the court, the trustee handling your case and creditors. A bankruptcy attorney knows how and when to communicate with each of these parties, make it easier and less stressful for you. They also know the ins and outs of bankruptcy law, giving you a better chance of getting the type of bankruptcy that you want, when you want it. If you file by yourself, you may not get the same chances, since you are not familiar with the system.
