How to Choose the Right Bankruptcy Attorney

Posted on April 2, 2015by Admin

Finding the right bankruptcy attorney is critical to the outcome of your case. The first place you can start is by visiting your state bar’s website to find out if the attorney is a Board Certified Consumer Bankruptcy attorney. You can also find out how many years an attorney has been practicing in the field of bankruptcy law.

Look for important award distinctions, such as an AV Preeminent Rating by Martindale-Hubbell. This distinguished award is achievable only after admission to the bar for at least ten years and indicates the highest level of legal ability and ethics. It also indicates that an attorney’s colleagues and the judiciary perceive him to be at the pinnacle of professional success.

When you check credentials and affiliations, it provides you with an assurance that the attorney has practical knowledge of the state’s bankruptcy laws. Next, visit the attorney’s website to see if the site contains educational information about filing for bankruptcy, answers frequently asked questions, provides client testimonials and informative videos.

Do your research on the bankruptcy attorney you plan to meet with and look for the following qualities:

1.The attorney should discuss alternative options with you. Chapter 7 bankruptcy is a complete discharge of eligible debts, but it is not right for everyone.

2. The attorney should display a passion for the process. You should not hire an attorney to represent you in court who is indifferent about the process. Ask the attorney why he or she chose bankruptcy law and listen carefully to the response.

3. The attorney should understand you and your individual situation. Filing for bankruptcy can be a trying time, not only financially but emotionally. You need to find an attorney who possesses empathy and the willingness to listen to you.

4. Beware of discount bankruptcy attorneys. Finally, look out for an attorney who runs an extremely discounted rate on their bankruptcy services. These firms are commonly referred to as “bankruptcy mills” and crank out many cases at a time, not giving clients the one-on-one attention they deserve.
