In order for me to determine whether Bankruptcy can be used to discharge your debts, and whether it is in your interest to file for bankruptcy, I need information and documentation about your individual situation. This documentation assists me in helping you, and in protecting you and your assets during the bankruptcy process. I consider a successful bankruptcy to be a discharge of your dischargeable debts with a minimum of stress and aggravation. My efforts for you at the preparation stage, helps to ensure that this happens.
