Antelope Valley Bankruptcy Paralegal
Just call "We the People" in Palmdale or Lancaster?
Does it make more sense to have a Lancaster bankruptcy paralegal do your bk? After all, they don't charge as much. It's a no-brainer to have someone in Palmdale or AV like We the People legal document services do your California bankruptcy paperwork, right?
Limited in what they can do
They only complete the forms
Give this some serious thought. Paralegals are limited by what they can do. If they do too much for you, they are practicing law and violating California state ethics rules. And what kind of character does that show? Who is going to get the short end of the stick if you take their illegal advice and it backfires? (Note: technically paralegals cannot represent you directly)
Non-attorneys
that assist the public are not called paralegals but
instead "Bankruptcy Petition Preparers" (or
BPPs). Just as there are bankruptcy
attorneys you should not do business with, there
are also unethical
bankruptcy preparers who don't follow the rules
and get punished by bankruptcy judges and the Trustee. |
They cannot give legal advice
What is an example of the practice of law? Merely recommending that you file bankruptcy under Chapter 7 bankruptcy as opposed to Chapter 13 bankruptcy is practicing law.
Sure, anyone can tell you general information about bankruptcy. But applying that law to your specific set of facts -- something unique to you and only you -- requires a bankruptcy attorney. And if they're not going to guide you and give you legal advice, are you really getting your money's worth?
They cannot appear with you in court
Only an attorney can be with you during your Meeting with Creditors at Bankruptcy Court. For that one big day -- hopefully the only time you'll be in court this year or this lifetime -- don't you want to have an attorney by your side?
In short, a legal document service like We the People can do bankruptcy forms and save you money, but you get what you pay for. And in a major process like a once-in-a-lifetime bankruptcy, now is not the time to cut corners with a Palmdale bankruptcy paralegal.
