PREPARED FORMES
Several sites prepare online forms for a fee. The uses submits the necessary information to the site which generates the forms which the user files with the bankruptcy court. For an additional fee, some sites offer attorney services to review or assist in preparing the completed forms.
ONLINE ATTORNEY
Many attorneys use firm websites and email exclusively to represent clients in bankruptcy. The presence of “virtual offices” has grown in recent years, as both attorneys and clients find the reduction of in-person interaction mutually reduces costs of representation without sacrificing quality.
ONLINE PARALEGAL
While paralegals are prohibited by law from offering legal advice, paralegals may prepare bankruptcy petition documents. Paralegals usually charge less than attorneys but often do not possess the superior knowledge and training of a licensed attorney.
