Bankruptcy Attorney in Oregon Bankruptcy Questionnaire for Single Individuals
This form is to be used by single debtors or debtors who are married but not living with their spouse. If you are married and living with your spouse click here.
It will take 30-60 minutes to provide all the information required by the court. Most of the information you will already know. COMPLETE ONLY THE PARTS THAT APPLY TO YOU. However, you will need to have creditor information (names, addresses, etc.) at hand to complete this form. Please review my privacy policy if you have any concerns about what we will do with this information.
You must disclose all information. If I, as your attorney, find out that you did not disclose all information or that you provided false information, I have an ethical obligation to require you to provide the correct information to the court.
WARNING - THE FBI INVESTIGATES BANKRUPTCY CRIMES
Federal law provides severe criminal penalties for bankruptcy crimes, which include bribery, concealment of assets, false statement, fake claims, filing under a false name and perjury. Title 18, United States Code, Sec. 152, et.seq. provides penalties of up to 5 years imprisonment or a fine of not more than $250,000, or both.
VALUATION OF ASSETS - The court wants to know the "value" of your assets. For bankruptcy purposes, "value" is what you would pay for the item in its present condition. For example, for furniture, you have used furniture. If you were buying used furniture at a second hand store, what would pay for it in the same condition as yours is? For vehicles, what would you pay for your used vehicle in the condition that it sits, right now, in your driveway (dirty, dented, in need of mechanical repair, etc.)? For vehicles, I usually take retail and subtract at least $1000 for reconditioning. Then, if the vehicle needs body work or paint or repair, I subtract the cost of that to come up with the "value."

My wife and I found you while searching the Internet for a bankruptcy attorney. While we were pleased to discover you charged a reasonable fee, we were concerned that it was too good to be true. But since money was scarce, we decided to give your services a try. Now that it is all over, we can honestly say that you proved yourself to be honorable, professional and reliable. You did a great job representing us and we will recommend you to anyone we know that is suffering a serious financial setback.– Jerald and Jamee P, Southern Oregon
