This is our story

Our story begins in June of 2010, when Mike Croak decided to start his bankruptcy business from the ground up.

He developed our software from his 14 years of insights as a paralegal assistant. His extensive experience includes preparing and filing over 4,500 Ch. 7 & 13 petitions in all four California districts, along with almost every motion and order in a typical bankruptcy case.

His exposure to the limitations and challenges that clients and attorneys face inspired him to invest years in addressing these issues on the website and in the app.

BK Assistant team member

Our solution moves past outdated, overpriced options and brings cost-efficient, innovative technology to your practice—with a focus on your clients’ experience.

BK Assistant is founded on integrity and service. We believe in long-term relationships and sustainable growth in the legal industry.

Why BK Assistant’s software is unique

Our software was developed by bankruptcy paralegals, not attorneys or software engineers. In most firms, legal assistants and paralegals drive questionnaires and document collection—so solutions should come from the people who do the work. That’s why our approach differs from much of the industry.

Our software targets three of the biggest pain points with step-by-step video tutorials, document uploads that use technology to read client documents and auto-populate data into the system.
