CPS strongly encourages anyone wanting to file their own bankruptcy petition to FIRST seek the
advice of an attorney, especially if you own property or owe back taxes.

By representing yourself, you and only you, are ultimately responsible for your own bankruptcy
forms and the validity of the contents contained therein.  This means, any questions you're asked
by your assigned Trustee, such as, why you choose certain exemptions, or why you reaffirmed this
debt and not the other, must be answered honestly, and not from what the Bankruptcy Petition
Preparer or other non-attorney may have indicated.

CPS STRONGLY ENCOURAGES each bankruptcy client to double and triple check your typed BK
documents BEFORE you file your bankruptcy case.  

CPS does not assume any responsibility for typographical errors, after the bankruptcy petition
and/or accompanying forms have been filed with the bankruptcy court.

Each client
must familiarize themselves with their own bankruptcy documents, as well as Illinois
State & Federal Exemptions.

ILLINOIS EXEMPTIONS

A bankruptcy petition preparer CAN NOT choose, explain or tell a debtor which exemptions to use
or avoid, under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code §110.

A bankruptcy petition preparer is not an attorney, nor can they receive compensation for
providing legal advice.

A bankruptcy petition preparer can not file your bankruptcy petition and accompanying forms, or
other court forms such as motions, nor can we accept court filing fees from the debtor or on the
debtor's behalf for any of these actions may be construed as a violation of the bankruptcy code.
