**Important Information for Potential Bankruptcy Petition Clients of Parks & Associates**
Hello Potential Client,
Thank you for considering Parks & Associates for your bankruptcy petition preparation needs. Before we proceed, it's crucial to understand the scope and limitations of our services:
1. **No Legal Advice**: While we aim to provide comprehensive document preparation services, please be aware that we do *not* offer legal advice. Our role is to assist in accurately preparing and organizing your documents for bankruptcy filing.
2. **Our Fees**: Parks & Associates charges a low flat fee of $160 in the state of Virginia for bankruptcy petition preparation. This covers our complete service in ensuring your documents are in order and ready for submission. Fee varies based on petition preparer guidelines for the state you are filing in. We service all states.
3. **Representation in Court**: It's important to note that Parks & Associates, and specifically Sam Parks, will *not* represent you in court. Our services are limited to document preparation. If you need legal representation or advice, you'll need to consult with a bankruptcy attorney.
4. **Turnaround Time**: We understand that time can be of the essence. You can expect a turnaround time of 3-5 days for the preparation of your documents. We commit to ensuring they are prepared efficiently and meticulously.
5. **Duties of a Petition Preparer**: Our primary duty as your bankruptcy petition preparer is to provide clerical services. This means:
- Accurately completing the required forms based on the information you provide.
- Ensuring that all documents are organized for your filing.
- Highlighting any missing information or documents that might be needed.
- Keeping your personal and financial information confidential.
We are dedicated to providing the best service possible within our capacity as bankruptcy petition preparers. It's essential to be well-informed about the process and seek legal counsel if you have questions outside of our purview.
