<div>From the perspective of the debtor and the debtor's attorney – you and me – most of the work in a bankruptcy case happens before the case is filed.  Most of your work is in gathering information and documentation.  As much as I brag about "<a title="Make it easy" href="http://johnbodlelaw.com/2012/04/make-it-easy/">making it easy</a>," we can't avoid the fact that you must explain your financial circumstances to me, and I must present those facts properly on the bankruptcy forms, then you have to check it and make sure I've got everything right — and for most folks, that's a lot of tedious work.  For you and me, however, when we've done that, we're mostly done; most of the rest of the work is for the creditors, <a title="The Trustee" href="http://johnbodlelaw.com/bankruptcy-basics/the-trustee/">the trustee</a>, and the court.</div>
