Petition Process

Having your Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy petitions prepared by
YourLegalMeans is as easy as 1-2-3…

Step 1
COMPLETE THE CLIENT INTAKE FORMS (CIF)
Download our completely FREE Client Intake Forms and have your very next bankruptcy client complete them in full. Do not allow them to leave any blanks. For best results, have the debtor(s) write “N/A” in any field that is “not applicable” or cross out sections that don’t apply.

Our client intake forms have been proven to be the very best by thousands of bankruptcy law firms across the U.S., and can even be personalized with your law firm’s contact information.
REVIEW AND SEND US THE INTAKE FORMS
When your client(s) have fully completed the Client Intake Forms as previously described, and you have reviewed them for missing information, forward them to us along with the debtor(s)’:
- 1. Credit Counseling Certificate(s)
- 2. Paystubs or proof of income for the last six (6) FULL months
- 3. A summary of the case, a high-level overview, the goals for the debtor(s), etc.
