  • More Than Expected!

    I found the firm's representation to be more than what I expected. I was always kept in the loop, all my questions were answered (whether or not I asked more than once the same question), and I felt completely supported by the firm staff when going through this (at times) scary ordeal. Thank you again.

Find A California Bankruptcy Lawyer

In order to file a bankruptcy case in California, either Chapter 7 or Chapter 13, takes careful preparation and an understanding of legal issues. While individuals can file for bankruptcy without an attorney, the United States Courts strongly recommends seeking the counsel of a qualified attorney due to the long-term financial and legal outcomes.

While there are many general practice law attorneys that cover a wide range of legal topics, it’s important to first find attorneys that specifically practice bankruptcy law and only bankruptcy law. US bankruptcy laws are among the most sophisticated and complex compared to any other category of law, and it takes a specialist to know all the ins and outs of the bankruptcy court system where you plan to file.

Just as with finding any other type of niche professional, starting with referrals from family and friends is a good way to start your search for a bankruptcy attorney. Additional sources for bankruptcy lawyer referrals could include county, state, or city bar associations, your employer sponsor legal plan, or even internet directories. If you have another attorney you have worked with who specializes in another area of law, you can contact them for a referral as well. You’ll want to look for bankruptcy attorneys who specialize in debt relief law, who are familiar with the local rules and trustees, and who have significant experience.

Once you have locate the names of several, reputable, California bankruptcy lawyers, you will want to meet with each of them to discuss your situation. Since you will be working closely with this professional for an extended period of time in many cases, you want to make sure it’s someone you feel that you can work well with.

Again, it can’t be stressed enough the importance of hiring a bankruptcy attorney to assist you in filing for bankruptcy. Making a mistake in your bankruptcy filling can affect your rights, and bankruptcy lawyers are the only individuals that are legally able to offer you legal advice.
