How to Hire a Bankruptcy Lawyer in 3 Easy Steps

Liviakis Law Firm Team

Financial difficulties come as uninvited guests, causing your ability to pay your debt to go awry. Bankruptcy lawyers are professionals who help clients get relief from their financial distress. Here are three steps to find the right attorney:

1. List of Potential Bankruptcy Attorneys

Make a list of the bankruptcy lawyers in your area by checking with your family, friends, or even a simple Google search can help you out. After making a list, you can eliminate those who aren’t licensed to give legal advice (there will be a few), anyone who doesn’t specialize in bankruptcy law, and add a star for everyone who has been personally recommended by someone you know. The refinement process will leave you with some good prospective lawyers.

2. Set Up Meetings

It is essential to meet the attorney in person. First, organize your documents and have physical copies of your financial statements. Detailed reports regarding your loans, mortgages, and assets ready. Finally, have a list of questions. Ideally, cover all types of problems, even if they seem basic. Questions regarding his/her experience, the red flags in your case, attorney fees, payment plans, etc. Once you have everyone’s answers, it’s time to narrow it down to the best one.

3. Narrowing Down the Right Lawyer

You could have made your decision during one of the meetings, but make sure you cover all aspects – how well they listened to you and were enthusiastic about fighting your case. If you can place your trust in them then they should work out for you financially. After this, make sure you contact them and get to work immediately on your bankruptcy.

Contacting an Elk Grove bankruptcy attorney is a good starting point to find a qualified, experienced lawyer to handle your bankruptcy case.
