I spent this morning at the Self Help Desk at the bankruptcy court in Woodland Hills. Business was a little slow. The desk is run by Neighborhood Legal Services and staffed by Martha Castillo, a very friendly and knowledgeable bilingual paralegal. I believe it is open on Thursdays only. They have the forms and the knowledge to help unrepresented debtors try to get through the process.
There is also a self-help desk downtown run by Public Counsel and Maggie Brodeaux I believe.
