So how do you find a bankruptcy lawyer? We started by looking online and in the local phone book for lawyers who specialized in bankruptcy in our area. Bankruptcy courts are seperated by state and district, so you need an attorney who can handle a case in your area.
We found two bankruptcy lawyers to talk to and my business lawyer recommended someone as well. So, now we have three people to talk with to get an idea who we are comfortable with, and get their advice on the situation. Most will offer a free consultation, or charge a minimal fee for this. Our first appointment is Monday.
