Does a Bankruptcy Petition Preparation Service Do the Same Thing a Lawyer Does?

No, not at all. While a big part of what a bankruptcy lawyer does for you is prepare your paperwork, it goes much further than that. In a nutshell, a petition preparation service functions as a “typing service” of sorts. You provide them with the details on your case, and they complete the forms.

An attorney does the same thing, but can also advise you of your options along the way, and also represents you at the bankruptcy hearing.
