How to choose a bankruptcy lawyer
- Check the lawyer’s status and any public discipline in the state bar or law society directory.
- Ask how many bankruptcy law matters the lawyer handles each year, and who at the firm will do the work.
- Get the fee arrangement in writing: hourly, flat or contingency, and which costs are charged on top.
- Ask how and how often the firm will update you, and how fast it answers calls and emails.
- Read recent reviews for how the firm communicated and billed, not only for outcomes.
- Ask whether the lawyer, not only staff, will review your forms and go with you to the meeting of creditors.
- Meet more than one firm; many offer a short first consultation, sometimes free.
Questions to ask a bankruptcy lawyer
- How would you approach a matter like mine, and what are the realistic options?
- How do you charge, and what will the total likely cost?

- Which of my property is exempt?
- Is there any conflict of interest that would stop you representing me?
