Advice for Choosing a Bankruptcy Lawyer
Summary
This article provides essential tips for consumers seeking a bankruptcy lawyer. If your case is simple, you might even handle the filing yourself.Article Body
1. Evaluate Your Need for a Lawyer:
Consider whether you truly need a bankruptcy lawyer. For simple cases, you may be able to use a bankruptcy petition preparer at a lower cost. Bankruptcy law is often less complex than perceived. Ask yourself, "How complicated is my case?" If you have only unsecured debt (like credit cards and medical bills), lack assets (such as a car or home), and haven’t recently acquired debt in a potentially fraudulent way, you might not need a lawyer.
2. Consider Complexity and Attention:
If your case is more complex, ensure you receive the personal attention you deserve. Many firms handle basic filings with minimal lawyer interaction. With so much at stake, it’s crucial to work directly with an expert in bankruptcy law.
3. Seek Referrals:
If you know someone who has filed for bankruptcy, ask about their experience with their lawyer. If not, reach out to a law firm in a different area for a referral.
4. Shop Around:
Many bankruptcy lawyers offer a free initial consultation. Choose a lawyer with whom you feel comfortable discussing personal issues and who offers a fair fee. However, do not sacrifice quality and experience for lower fees. Contact your state’s Attorney General’s office for a recommended list of bankruptcy lawyers in your area.
