The attorney you select will help you decide which chapter to file under, if you do need to file. I am a board certified consumer bankruptcy attorney in the Dayton and Cincinnati Ohio area, and have filed more than 6,000 bankruptcy cases. Most of the time, its pretty clear which chapter will be best for a particular situation. I would not, under almost any circumstances, recommend that a consumer try to file a case without an attorney. One of the attorneys in our office saw one of these "pro se" individuals who, because she had no attorney, ended up getting her family sued for a lot of money, and she herself lost about $50,000 she easily could have kept, if she only had consulted an attorney.
