In re Medley
Nov

2005
Ruling
Bankruptcy petition preparer who acted as more than a scrivener engaged in the unauthorized practice of law and thus committed a deceptive practice under the Code.
Procedural posture
Pro se bankruptcy debtors contacted a petition preparer's website and subsequently agreed to pay the preparer to complete their bankruptcy petition and accompanying schedules and forms. The bankruptcy trustee obtained an order to show cause to determine whether the preparer engaged in the unauthorized practice of law, and the preparer did not appear at the show cause hearing.
