Are You Interested In Bankruptcy Law? (No Experience Required – And Not Just for Attorneys!) By Sharon Igli, Paralegal Greater Dayton Volunteer Lawyers Project
Many in our community face daunting debt. Even those who have always managed their finances carefully can, perhaps because of a medical emergency, find themselves over whelmed by creditors. Others facing a financial crisis might turn to a payday lender, or a lender that holds title to their vehicle, for short-term funding - the debtor then may become over whelmed by the payments and related interest and fees. Some may have lost their driver’s license because of judgments taken against them, and can only reinstate driving privileges if they eliminate the obligation through the bankruptcy process. For low-income individu als in the Miami Valley, the Greater Dayton Volunteer Lawyers Project (GDVLP) has op tions for you to learn about bankruptcy law and provide assistance to those facing circumstances such as these.
As a full-time paralegal at the GDVLP, I work with volunteer attorneys to assist clients in preparing to file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy protection. Prior to the clients meeting with the attorney, I interview the clients to gather information necessary to prepare a bankruptcy petition and see them through credit counsel ing, which is required before debtors can file their petition.
If you have experience assisting individuals filing for bankruptcy, GDVLP can use your knowledge and talents. Once petitions for three to four clients are drafted, you would come to our offices to meet with the clients for them to review and sign their petitions. If you have any changes to the petitions, I would make them and then electronically file the petitions with the Court. I will also prepare any other necessary paperwork related to the filing of each bankruptcy. You would then represent the clients through the process (including attending the meeting of creditors and until the Court discharges the bankruptcy) while I continue to manage communications with them as additional items are needed by the Court and Trustee.
If you do not have prior experience with the Bankruptcy Court, we would initially pair you with an experienced attorney for mentoring. With that initial experience under your belt, you could take a group of clients on your own but still have access to experienced counsel when questions arise. With paralegal support from the GDVLP, and the availability of a mentor, you can learn bankruptcy law and serve pro bono in an environment that will provide you with the experience you need to become comfortable practicing a new area of the law. For paralegals, non-attorneys and oth ers who want to volunteer their time to the GDVLP and provide an important service to our community, we need you, too! With train ing from the GDVLP, you would learn how to (1) interview clients, (2) review the materials they have gathered in order to determine if they are ready for their petitions to be drafted, (3) prepare them to meet with their assigned attorney, and (4) utilize Best Case Solutions software that is used to draft the petition.
For attorneys, the GDLVP provides primary malpractice coverage. In addition, for every six hours you serve pro bono you can get one hour of CLE credit in Ohio. Have I interested you in serving pro bono in the are of bankruptcy law? If so, please contact me at (937) 461-3857 or Sharon@gdvlp.org.
