For Self-Represented Consumers

Black Diamond Bankruptcy Document Preparation

New Beginnings. Stronger Tomorrows.

Black Diamond Bankruptcy Document Preparation provides non-attorney bankruptcy petition preparation services for consumers who have independently chosen to represent themselves. Our role is document preparation — not legal representation.

Not a law firm. Not legal advice. Not legal representation.

Black Diamond Bankruptcy Document Preparation is a non-attorney document preparation service, subject to applicable bankruptcy petition preparer requirements, and is not a law firm. We do not determine whether Chapter 7 is right for you, select exemptions or determine whether property is protected, determine whether debts are dischargeable, provide bankruptcy strategy or legal advice, or represent consumers in bankruptcy court. Consumers requiring those services should consult a licensed bankruptcy attorney.

Frequently Asked

Common questions from self-represented filers

Is Black Diamond a law firm or a bankruptcy attorney?
No. Black Diamond Bankruptcy Document Preparation is a non-attorney document preparation service. Dr. Iris Wright is not an attorney, and this division does not provide legal advice or legal representation of any kind.
Can you tell me whether I should file Chapter 7?
No. Whether Chapter 7 is right for you, and how your property and debts will be treated, are legal decisions. We encourage you to consult a licensed bankruptcy attorney or a nonprofit credit counseling agency if you need guidance on that decision. We prepare the documents once you've decided how you wish to proceed.
Will my debts definitely be discharged?
We cannot tell you what will or won't be discharged — that determination is made by the bankruptcy court, based on your case and applicable law. We simply prepare the documents based on what you provide.
What information do I need to get started?
A general picture of your income, debts, assets, and expenses. Our intake process and required disclosures walk you through exactly what's needed, step by step.
