Q&A: Is there any need for paralegal certificate to offer Bankruptcy Document creation?

Answer by michr
what do you mean by “creation”
do you mean simply entering information on the forms (with information provided SOLELY by the client) or do you mean developing documents for an attorney to use in their practice?
in most states you can NOT represent a client in ANY way in ANY legal matter or offer ANY legal advise unless you are licensed to do so……….
in MOST if not ALL states a paralegal, with or without, a diploma/certificate/accredidation is NOT licensed to practice law……..

Question by AMG Consulting Group Inc.: Do you need to be a paralegal certificate to offer Bankruptcy Document Preparation?
I have years of experience working in a Law Firm and I know how to prepare a Bankruptcy Chp 7 and Chp 13… do I need to be accredited and have a certificate and/or degree if I choose to run my own business alone?

you can NOT offer ANY legal advise of any kind or represent a client in ANY manner with or without a paralegal certificate……
anyone can do the actual physical part of filling out any form, but you can NOT do anything more then actually type (or write) the information on the paper……..
if you charge for the service you provide, and just make a ” hypothetical suggestion” you are in violation of the law and may be prosecuted…… practicing law without a license is a criminal offense.
