When debt affects your life, it can be hard to know what to do. If you’re considering filing for bankruptcy, it’s important to know that you have options and that there are people who can help you get through this difficult time.
But how do you know if bankruptcy is right for you? And how do you know if the person representing your interests is qualified to handle your case? This blog post will help you find the right bankruptcy attorney for your needs.
How Can You Find the Right Bankruptcy Attorney?
It’s imperative to find the right bankruptcy attorney for your situation. One option is to ask family or friends for referrals or check with your local bar association. Also, check online reviews and ratings of attorneys in your area and their professional history.
Once you have found some potential candidates, set up consultation appointments with them to discuss your case. This allows you and the attorney to evaluate each other’s credentials and determine if they are a good match for you, as well as learn what type of fees they charge for their services.
The attorney should be able to answer all your questions about the process, including whether or not it is right for you based on your financial situation. They should also be able to address any concerns or objections that may arise during the course of preparing your petition and filing it with the court.
What Are Some Questions You Should Ask When Looking for the Right Bankruptcy Lawyer?
When trying to find the right bankruptcy attorney for your situation, it’s important to ask the right questions—here are some you may want to ask prospective lawyers:
- Do you specialize in Chapter 7, Chapter 11, or Chapter 13?
- What is your experience level with these filings?
- What kind of results have you gotten for previous clients?
- How long have you been practicing law?
- How long have you been specifically practicing bankruptcy law?
- What other consumer services do you provide?
- Are you licensed in Minnesota, and if not, in which state(s)?
