Attorneys are not known for their charity, most attorneys charge high fees for their legal work, especially for bankruptcy filing. But most attorneys also perform "pro bono" work - that's Latin for FREE. Pro Bono work is meant to assist the indigent or less fortunate members of our society.
Check for local legal aid societies and contact local law firms to see if they offer free bankruptcy filings. It's not something that they usually advertise, so you need to contact them.
It is also possible to file for bankruptcy yourself without using an attorney. Many ordinary people do it evary day. The bankruptcy forms are available online.
