What are the Duties of a Chester County Bankruptcy Lawyer?

Your lawyer should have significant experience in your Chester County bankruptcy.  They should already know what is required by the bankruptcy courts.  This includes meeting with the Chester County debtors to determine their assets, income, and liabilities.  It also includes providing you with guidance and strategic suggestions to put you in the best spot to make your filing the most optimal one possible.  

Bankruptcy Reform Act of 2005 created a strange entity called a "debt relief agency".  This entity is defined as any person who provides bankruptcy assistance to an assisted person in return for the payment of money or other valuable consideration.  The controlling law on this section is 11 U.S.C. 101(12A).  An attorney who represents an individual in a Chester County bankruptcy is typically a "debt relief agency".  

The rule also talks about an "assisted person", which is defined as any person whose debts consist primarily of consumer debts and whose nonexempt property property is valued at less than $150,000.  Easily, this is most people filing for bankruptcy in Chester County and applies to most if not all Chester County bankruptcies.
