The Debtor Assistance Project
What?
The Debtor Assistance Project ("DAP") is a clinic,
located at the U.S. Courthouses in Maryland, which provides debtors with an opportunity to meet with
a bankruptcy attorney for a cost-free half-hour consultation. The DAP is designed to help individuals
without an attorney to answer legal questions about bankruptcy, including
how bankruptcy may be used to help prevent foreclosure. The DAP cannot provide an attorney to
complete your paperwork for you or represent you. If you need representation services after your half-hour
consultation, you can find information on finding an attorney (sometimes at low to no cost) on the
Court’s website or in the DAP waiting room.
For more information on the DAP and its policies, please review the DAP Debtor Notice, which is available to debtors when they arrive for their DAP appointments
