From the April 2025 Pro Bono Newsletter:
Pro So Help Desk at the
Eastern District Bankruptcy Court
The Pro Se Help Desk for the Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin provides in-person walk-in advice to pro se chapter 7 debtors. In 2024, the Pro Se Help Desk was staffed by 9 attorneys who volunteered over 110 hours to assist more than 160 pro se debtors. These attorneys provide a valuable service to the debtors who seek assistance from the help desk and to the court, which benefits from documents prepared with legal assistance.
