Guardrail signals

If staff says anything matching one of these examples, an urgent warning surface is created.

Never advise which chapter of bankruptcy to file — only an attorney can make that determination.

Do not guarantee that debts will be discharged.

Never tell a caller to stop paying creditors.

Do not discuss specific legal strategies.

When the call ends

Before staff can end the call, walks them through a wrap-up checklist, then prepares the captured fields for the work record.
