How an experienced bankruptcy attorney can help you
Bankruptcy is a specialized area of the law, which even some attorneys do not understand. If you are considering whether or not to file for bankruptcy, it is strongly recommended that you consult with an experienced bankruptcy attorney. An experienced bankruptcy attorney will assist you in the following manner:
- Meet with you and conduct a consultation to determine which type of bankruptcy, if any, is in your best interest;
- Prepare your Bankruptcy Petition, which is essentially a snapshot of your current financial status, and submit it to the Court on your behalf;
- Represent you at your Meeting of Creditors, which is an examination conducted by a Trustee (an individual appointed by the Court to supervise your case); and
- Communicate with your creditors, so you don’t have to.
