The court's filing-without-an-attorney guidance explains that a person filing without counsel is proceeding pro se and strongly encourages consulting a bankruptcy attorney.

Court personnel cannot provide legal advice.
Before preparing a petition, review the court's official and local form resources and current fee schedule.
