Have you found yourself drowning in debt and ready to file a NJ bankruptcy in order to get a fresh start? Deciding which NJ bankruptcy attorney to work with is the next important decision you’ll have to make. It is critical to choose a bankruptcy attorney who is not only experienced and intelligent, but also makes you feel comfortable and communicates openly.
Below are a few tips on how to find the best NJ bankruptcy lawyer for you:
Do:
- Investigate the law firm’s reputation. Ask friends and family if they have referrals. The internet can also be a great tool for gathering information about a NJ bankruptcy attorney.
- Make sure the attorney has extensive experience in filing bankruptcy cases. Just because they can file your bankruptcy, doesn’t mean they have a lot of experience doing so.
- Ask questions and make sure the bankruptcy lawyer can explain the answers in a way that you understand.
- Make sure you understand the differences between Chapter 7, Chapter 13 and Chapter 11 bankruptcy and which is best for you.
- Talk to the bankruptcy lawyer about their fee for filing a bankruptcy.
- Trust your instincts. If you feel like you’ve found the right NJ bankruptcy attorney for you, you’re probably right.
Don’t:
- Hire a bankruptcy attorney just because they are the cheapest. You often get what you pay for.
- Feel ashamed or embarrassed to talk to the bankruptcy attorney. They should be there to help you, not judge you.
- Let the attorney pressure you into filing a bankruptcy case. A really good lawyer will explain all of your debt relief options.
