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.

  • 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?
