Filing a bankruptcy petition is complicated. The long term financial and legal consequences of Bankruptcy are serious. Hiring a competent attorney is strongly recommended by the courts. Bankruptcy fraud is a crime. The case can be dismissed if the debtor is dishonest in connection with the petition. Individual Bankruptcy cases are subject to random audits to determine truthfulness, completeness and accuracy of information in the petition. All assets and all debts must be listed. Debtors who wish to represent themselves are expected to be familiar with the United States Bankruptcy Code and the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure as well as the local rules of Court.
