Not All Bankruptcy Attorneys are Created Equal
If you have seen one bankruptcy attorney you have seen them all, right? Wrong, not all bankruptcy attorneys are created equal. Each one has unique skills and experiences as well as a unique approach to dealing with their clients. These differences can have a great deal of impact on the process as well as your experience throughout.
When preparing for your initial and what should be free consultation, be ready to ask these questions of the firm you are dealing with:
- How many bankruptcies does the firm file each year?
- Is bankruptcy what they focus on or just a part of a larger practice?
- Do they offer alternatives to bankruptcy?
- Do they truly care about me and my situation?
You should do some homework before filing your case and you should be comfortable with the bankruptcy attorney you are working with regarding your filing. If you are unhappy with the answers you receive or with the way you are treated, walk away and keep looking for a firm you feel comfortable with.
