Think about it…when you are looking for something – whether it’s a coffee shop, a doctor,  or a bankruptcy lawyer -  where do you start looking first?

You should be comfortable consulting with an attorney for any reason.  Bankruptcy is highly personal, and you may feel that it is highly embarrassing.  Unfortunately, the number of bankruptcies in the last decade has been on the rise, and given the state of the US economy this year it isn’t likely that will change.

YOU ARE NOT ALONE!

If you have worked with an attorney before on a non-bankruptcy issue, contact them and ask if they handle bankruptcies.  If they do not, they may be able to refer you to one of their colleagues who they know will give you the same service level that they offer.

A typical bankruptcy legal practice:

Most experienced Chicago and Cook County bankrkuptcy lawyers work hard to provide clients with high-quality legal services in the practice areas they offer, and to maintain a strong and completely confidential attorney-client relationship.  A well-developed bankruptcy practice will concentrate on helping individuals with Chapter 13 and Chapter 7 filings, help businesses with Chapter 11 filings, and help creditors protect their rights in the bankruptcy process.

Some bankruptcy practices will also be skilled in additional areas (which can be involved in bankruptcies):

Debt negotiation and credit repair
Real estate litigation
Landlord tenant issues
Construction law
Franchising a business
Business formation – incorporation & filings
Conducting business – forms & procedures necessary for business
Buying and selling businesses
Commercial and residential real estate transactions
Wills and estates
Financial planning
Arbitration or dispute resolution

You goal:

You want an attorney who will listen to your unique circumstances, care about how each facet of your case is best handled, and help you to understand this complex area of law.

Be sure to interview several Chicago or Cook County bankruptcy lawyers.  If possible, ask your friends if they’ve worked with an attorney before, if they had a positive and productive experience.  If so, consider contact that attorney to have an initial consultation.
