(SCROLL DOWN FOR NEW CLIENT FIRST APPOINTMENT FORM)
North Carolina Bankruptcy Lawyer in Charlotte NC for Chapter 7 / Chapter 13
This form is for people who have already spoken to Ms. Robicsek and scheduled an appointment with
the Law Office of Susanne M. Robicsek.
If you prefer (or have trouble with this form), a paper copy can be given to you to fill out when you come
in for your appointment but you need to let me know prior to coming in so that your time with the attorney is correctly scheduled.
This form has been made available by request from past clients who want to reduce the amount of time they spend at the
first consultation. This should not take very long - ten to twenty minutes. If it takes
longer, you may be making it more difficult than it should be. This should be based upon your best estimates;
guess if necessary. The form will be used to get an idea of your living expenses and will be reviewed with you
in your consultation.
You can type numbers for the amounts, and you can also type words if you need to explain or describe
something. If it doesn't apply, type "0" so I know that you didn't miss the question.
This form asks for average monthly expenses. Not everything is paid monthly - for instance you may
not pay for medical costs, buy clothes, do anything to your house, or repair your car every month. Either think of what
you spend per year, and divide by 12 or write in what you spend yearly (or other) and type "yearly" next to it.
Example: car insurance $650/6months. Example: clothing: $300/year. Example: car
repairs: $2500/year. Example: Homeowners: $75/qtr.
TIPS: Do the best you can. This is not a test. The purpose it to see what you really need
to spend to live, and it is a starting place for our discussion. I review this form in the consultation and
it will be updated or changed as needed, as we review it.
1) Be honest, and as accurate as you can.
2) Don't shortchange yourself. List what your expenses really are, or should be. If they
appear unreasonable, I will discuss that with you. For example, many people write $0.00 for clothing because they have
not bought any in so long. Everyone wears clothing, so it has to be bought by everyone at some point so that needs
to be budgeted in.
3) Do not list payments on credit cards, or loans that have no collateral.

the form that says it went through. If you get a message that says "java.lang.NullPointerException" , it did NOT go through. If you
