The short answer - No - attorneys are not required when filing bankruptcy.
The better answer depends on each persons financial circumstance, assets

highly talented bankruptcy attorney, precise qualification may be
available through one of several exceptions contained within the new
Code. For a few hours interviewing potential attorneys, debtors may save
5 year of pointlessly subsisting beyond the threshold of poverty.
