Has any one used a paralegal before for bankruptcy?

Question

how did it go and would you recommend it or not?

Answer 1

A paralegal cannot represent you in court.  The only people who can represent you in court would be a licensed attorney, an advanced law student with specific training holding a special certificate to practice in court, and you if you chose to represent yourself pro se.  The paralegal would be trained in legal procedure and might be able to assist you in directing you as to what you need to file and could probably do some research but they haven't been trained in the intricacies of the actual application of the laws. Also paralegals are not supposed to work w/ clients independent of direct from a supervising law firm, agency, or lawyer.  

Hope that clears it up for you.
