Good cases to search on PACER

[anonymuse]

I'm afraid of these huge charges people have had on PACER by specifying too large a search criteria.

I just did a search on my name (first and last) and found 73 people in BK.

Any good cases that you could provide the case number for to review?

The best thing to do is query by attny's last names of attnys in your area. The first page of listings of cases filed will be the attny's total history, but you're interested in New Law filings.

If it's a single person's name, and you're a couple, it probably won't be of interest to you.

Then when you select a couple, if that's what you are, the first page will tell you what chapter they filed. If they are 13 and you're going 7 then look for another couple.

It's gonna be tough to find someone who's circumstances are identical to yours. Close match is the best bet. But at least by looking at other people's filings you can get an idea of how the Court in your area works. What expenses are and aren't allowed and the range the Court will accept.

So you can put the attorney's name in "Party Name"? I put one attorney's name in and haven't come up with anything.
