BANKRUPTCY Do I need an attorney to collect unpaid wages in a bankruptcy settlement?
After 7 years employed at a firm they locked their doors last Thursday. Chapter 11 happens this week. 7/1 payroll did not happen, and I am a sales person paid upon invoice so I also lost any potentials wages on future work.

First of all, apply for unemployment compensation.
You don’t need an attorney, but you do need to file a proof of claim form with the court.
Contact the clerk of the local bankruptcy court.
You can find it here.

Ask them for the exact title and docket number of the case.
This is the form

Ask the court clerk if there is anything else you need to know to file your claim – such as a correct address, deadline, etc.
