Bankruptcy lawyer Citrus Heights have different styles of practice and one isn’t necessarily better than the other. Some handle a high volume of cases on an assembly line basis, relying heavily on paralegals. Others opt for a lower volume of cases with more personal contact between lawyer and client. Go with whichever makes you more comfortable. Lawyers who specialize in personal bankruptcy are usually more efficient and tend to charge less and do a better job than lawyers who just file an occasional bankruptcy case. In your first meeting, the lawyer—after reviewing the materials you bring in and asking questions—must be able to tell you whether bankruptcy is your best choice and, if so, which type.
A good bankruptcy attorney must, of course, know the law, but she must also be wiling to spend the time and effort to learn about your particular situation and thoughtfully assess your options. Every case has a few unique features to it and there is really no such a thing for you case to be “cut and dried” or “run of the mill”. BARF requires that you obtain a certificate from an approved credit-counseling agency that documents that you receive counseling within 180 days of filing bankruptcy. But wait until you talk to your lawyer before deciding whether to go for in-person counseling or doing it electronically and what materials you need to submit to the agency.
