What the cheapest options can cost you
A petition preparer can type your forms, but by law cannot give legal advice or go to the meeting with you. A do-it-yourself case can miss an exemption, a deadline or a property issue, and a dismissed case can make the next filing harder. A low fee only helps if the case is done right.
