Find another attorney, or study study study.
If you have a simple case, no assets, you go do this on your own.
If I had found this forum before I filed, I never would have used an attorney.
This forum and the people on it rock!

New Member Filing on Monday
I am so glad I found this forum. I am getting my paperwork ready to file for a 7 on Monday, hopefully. I actually dabbled in this a few months ago and then got cold feet. After going to an attorney who left me feeling raped, cornered and without hope due to the fact that he wanted $1,500.00 before he would do ANYTHING to get me out of an active garnishment. I remember during our initial consultation, him shoving a paper in front of me when I was hem-hawing about whether it was right for me to retain him. He basically came up with some mumbo-jumbo about ending the consultation right then or signing the paper to continue the discussion.
Anyhoo, after 3 months and selling off stuff, I finally got the $1500.00 together, but decided that was just too much money to pay this guy who made me feel ripped off, for lack of a better term, so I bought the Nolo book on how to file and have all the forms, etc.. I've been reading here for a couple of days and see that many have done this successfully.
Should I be nervous? What are the chances of having it thrown out over a small mistake, etc.? That is what I fear. Everything I've read elsewhere says that even the smallest mistake could get you thrown out.
Any advice or comforting words would be appreciated.
