Bankruptcy, plainly.

Chapter 7 is a legal right designed to give honest people a fresh start. We help you do the paperwork for free. A real attorney reviews it for $100 before you file — and that goes toward their fee if you keep them on.

How it works

  1. 1Answer 7 short questions to see if Chapter 7 is the right tool for you.
  2. 2If it is, we'll walk you through the same questions a lawyer would ask — about 30 of them, in plain English.
  3. 3We generate your actual court forms. You see them before you commit to anything.
  4. 4A California attorney reviews everything for $100. If you retain them to file, that $100 goes toward their fee.

Average time: 45 minutes, spread over 1–2 sessions. Pause anytime and come back later.


Who this is for

  • You're filing alone, not with a spouse
  • You rent — you don't own a home
  • Most of what you owe is credit cards, medical bills, or personal loans
  • You live in California

Don't fit all of these? That's OK — we'll tell you straight up at the start and connect you with a lawyer who handles cases like yours.

Ready when you are.

The 7 questions take about 2 minutes. We'll tell you where you stand at the end.
