Who Are We
Section 110 of the United States Bankruptcy code provides that a non-attorney can assist in the preparation of the bankruptcy petition. The United States Trustees Office job is to enforce this code. Imagine, Congress has made a provision that allows a non-attorney to assist in the preparation of a bankruptcy petition. Many cases of fraud and abuse have occurred because there is no training or organizational assistance available for anyone deciding that they will become a bankruptcy petition preparer. Worse than the problems encountered by Our Petition Preparers, are the problems to our clients by unskilled preparers. We have trained bankruptcy attorneys available that can help you and our organization prevent this abuse.
This organization was formed to prevent the mindless abuse caused by the lack of training and to prevent non-attorneys from getting themselves and their clients in trouble. Your job as a preparer is assisting debtors in exercising their right to use a petition preparer to prepare their bankruptcy. We are experts in providing training for Law Offices. Does your office need to prepare bankruptcies? Call Us let us show you how.
OUR MISSION
The goal of our organization is to provide educational assistance and training to increase the professionalism of petition preparers. The adversaries are the untrained preparers that do not want you the petition preparers to exist, as well as PREPARERS that are ill equipped to respond to the law challenges. Too many Preparers make the same basic mistakes, simple things like placing “Legal” in their company names, or bad things like painting a target on their backs for the trustee and the ‘problem client’ to shoot at their business. Our mission is to make the Preparers a trained professional, providing leadership in the preparation of these
documents. When all else fails we have attorneys available to protect YOU.
