Yes, you can file for a Chapter 7 without a lawyer (although having legal representation is best). Here is a link to a site that will provide the basics of a bankruptcy filing, as well as all of the forms that you will need to file: http://www.uscourts.gov/bankruptcycourts.html.Note: If money is an issue, you can ask legal aid, a local law school clinic or your county's bar association for free/low cost help. Additionally, you can also file for waiver regarding filing fees, etc.
