If you’ve made the decision to file bankruptcy, you will likely need the assistance of a bankruptcy attorney. With attorneys being plentiful, choosing one may seem overwhelming. Here are things to keep in mind when deciding which bankruptcy attorney is best for you.Choose a Bankruptcy Attorney that Explains the ProcessThis is probably one of the most important aspects of choosing a bankruptcy attorney. You want a lawyer that will explain things to you and that will listen and pay attention to your particular situation. The attorney should not only be able to explain the bankruptcy process but also let you know based on your personal circumstances, if you have any other options. You will want to find out if bankruptcy is really the direction you need to be going and an attorney will be able to tell you what will happen and what won’t happen if you file bankruptcy. Additionally, they should be able to tell you the pros and cons of filing bankruptcy.Consider the FeesThe amount of money that is paid for a service does not necessarily indicate quality of work. This means that you should weigh the costs of the bankruptcy attorney. Some will be significantly less than others, and in a situation where your finances may already be in trouble, you do not want to end up paying more than you have to. Consider the attorney’s fees alongside how much work is predicted to be involved in your bankruptcy.How Familiar is the Attorney With Bankruptcies?It usually won’t matter if you have a fairly standard bankruptcy that includes debt such as credit card and medical bills. It is important to be aware of whether this is the first bankruptcy that the attorney has ever worked on, or if it is the hundredth. If anything, it may help with the decision in choosing the attorney you end up working with.Are You Comfortable With the Attorney?You will need to feel as though the attorney knows what he or she is doing but also that they are paying attention to you and have your best interests in mind. Whether you are able to contact and discuss your case with them comfortably is an important factor in choosing a bankruptcy or any type of lawyer. If you are uncomfortable at all, you may want to consider that there may be a different attorney for your situation.
