Filing for bankruptcy is a serious financial decision―and it may be the best decision for you. If you’re exploring if bankruptcy is the right solution to handle your debt problems, then you will want to hire a good bankruptcy attorney to guide you through the process.
Bankruptcy is a specialized and intricate area of law. It is important that your case is complete, accurate, and properly filed from the start. Working with an experienced bankruptcy attorney who understands the ins and outs of bankruptcy law helps ensure that your case sails smoothly to discharge (meaning your debts that can be erased, are erased).
How Can I Find A Good Bankruptcy Attorney?
The following tips can help you find and vet the right bankruptcy attorney for you. Hiring the right attorney can make your bankruptcy case a smooth process. And hiring the wrong attorney can be expensive―because it can be costly and difficult to fix mistakes after a bankruptcy case is filed.
Experience. In general, the best bankruptcy attorneys are bankruptcy attorneys. Consider that an attorney who has been practicing law for 20 years and files a few bankruptcy cases here and there may not be as experienced as an attorney who has been practicing for 10 years exclusively in bankruptcy law, filing cases day after day.

Research. Research any attorney or law firm you’re considering. Certainly look to see if the attorney dabbles in bankruptcy or practices exclusively in bankruptcy law. Also, take the time to research the attorney’s reputation in the community and what educational seminars they attend.
A simple Google search may yield a lot of information about an attorney. You can also look them up on your state’s bar website, or look up reviews from previous clients.
Specific Advice. A good attorney will listen to you, ask questions, and take the time to thoroughly understand your situation before giving you any legal advice. A good bankruptcy attorney will first consider your unique facts and only then give you specific advice on the potential benefits and drawbacks of you filing for bankruptcy.
