Quizplus · Accepted Answer

While it is highly recommended that a debtor consult with an attorney when filing for bankruptcy, it is possible for individuals to file on their own without the assistance of an attorney or filing service, a process known as filing "pro se." However, this is not always advisable as bankruptcy law can be complex and mistakes can result in a case being dismissed or even allegations of fraud.
