Attorney Responsibilities:

1. Attorneys are now required to have their own license copy of their preferred bankruptcy software before we begin drafting . Though, we highly recommend using Best Case© or EZ-filing©, we can use any bankruptcy software you have in your office as long as you provide us with the license.
   
   While Best Case© is the most expensive, it is the most powerful and has the best Chapter 13 plan calculator, among other features, for quicker petition drafting. We have found that other software requires more time to draft petitions, which may affect our fees.


2. Review, Sign and Return Service Agreement to PAVBS.com.


3. Ensure that your client(s) have completed the mandatory Credit Counseling requirement, or at least have one scheduled as soon as possible.


4. Give your Client a copy of the Client Intake Forms together with the Client Checklist. The Client Checklist makes it easier for your Client when gathering required documents. We can also personalized the Client Intake Form with your law firm's contact information at no additional charge.
