Your use of these documents does not create any legal obligations to advise or represent you. This can only happen by a personal meeting at our office, and by our signing a retainer agreement with you which you accept by signing it and paying any initial fee or retainer. These forms are exclusively for the use of present or potential clients of Neuner and Ventura LLP.
Please fill out as much of these forms as you can, especially the expense list. The more you can complete, the more value you will get from your first meeting with us about debt relief. Unlike some others, we strive in our first meeting to help you map out a realistic plan for debt relief, so that you leave our office ready to take control of your life. Whether through bankruptcy or one of the alternatives to bankruptcy, together we can help you get the fresh start that is right for you. For more about how we do this, see our ‘First Meeting’ document.
If you are not an attorney, before reading or using these forms, please read an important notice about bankruptcy by clicking here.
