Quality reigns over affordability when it comes to seeking a bankruptcy attorney. The bankruptcy law is more complex than before. Missing items or inaccurate information can get your case kicked out of court.
Experts advise that you shop around and consider two or three attorneys before selecting one.
Although many attorneys have increased their fees by 50 percent, it is still possible to find affordable help from a good lawyer.
Here are eight questions to help you narrow the field.
1. How many bankruptcies do you handle in a month or in a year?
2. How many of those bankruptcies are consumer/personal rather than business filings?
3. How many cases have you had where the U.S. Trustees moved for dismissal for abuse?
4. How much access will I have to an attorney during my bankruptcy filing?
5. If I'm not working directly with you (the lawyer), who will I be working with?
6. Can I interview the person with whom I'll be working?
7. How long will the bankruptcy process take in my case?
8. How will the procedure work?
