How to choose a bankruptcy lawyer

  1. Check the lawyer’s status and any public discipline in the state bar or law society directory.
  2. Ask how many bankruptcy law matters the lawyer handles each year, and who at the firm will do the work.
  3. Get the fee arrangement in writing: hourly, flat or contingency, and which costs are charged on top.
  4. Ask how and how often the firm will update you, and how fast it answers calls and emails.
  5. Read recent reviews for how the firm communicated and billed, not only for outcomes.
  6. Ask whether the lawyer, not only staff, will review your forms and go with you to the meeting of creditors.
  7. 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?
  • Who will be my main contact, and how quickly do you reply?
  • Which chapter fits my situation, and why?
  • Which of my property is exempt?
  • Is there any conflict of interest that would stop you representing me?

How do bankruptcy lawyers in Rohnert Park, CA charge?

Consumer bankruptcy lawyers usually charge a flat fee for Chapter 7; Chapter 13 fees are often paid partly through the repayment plan and are reviewed by the court. Under federal law they must give you written disclosures and a written contract (11 U.S.C. §§526–528).

What is the difference between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13?

Chapter 7 sells non-exempt property to pay creditors and usually ends in a few months; Chapter 13 keeps your property under a three- to five-year repayment plan. Income and assets decide which you can use. This is general information, not legal advice.

How is this list of bankruptcy lawyers in Rohnert Park, CA ranked?

By LFR Score only, from public data on reviews, practice focus, office location and hours. Firms labelled “Attorney advertising” paid for that placement; payment never changes a rank, and a rank is not an endorsement.

Does a lawyer need an office in Rohnert Park?

No, but the lawyer must be licensed in your state (or, for federal matters such as immigration, in some state). A local office makes meetings and court appearances easier, so proximity is one of our factors.
