Pro Se Help Desk |
|
|
Pro Se Help Desk, Thursdays, 9:00 a.m. to 10:30 a.m., U.S. Courthouse, Room 126.
We need volunteer attorneys for the Pro Se Help Desk and attorneys who may be willing to accept referrals of Chapter 13 debtors. If you are an attorney, and you wish to volunteer or add your name to the referral list, please contact the Clerk's Office at (414) 297-3291, extension 3204. The bankruptcy section of the Milwaukee Bar Association, with the assistance and support of the State Bar of Wisconsin, provides a Pro Se Bankruptcy Help Desk at the United States Bankruptcy Court in Milwaukee. The service is provided on a first come, first served basis. Due to increased volume, it is possible that if you do not come early you may not be seen. There will be a sign-in form in room 126 and each person will be called in turn. The service is available to chapter 7 debtors (or people considering filing chapter 7 bankruptcy) who wish to proceed pro se (i.e., do not have a lawyer to represent them in a bankruptcy case). The service provides assistance with completing the required bankruptcy paperwork. |
