How Do I Choose An Attorney To Help Me?

Most bankruptcy attorneys offer free consultations. This gives you an opportunity to interview many different attorneys and their staff. Take advantage of this!

When you first meet with an attorney, keep these points in mind:

1. Are you in fact meeting with an attorney (not a paralegal or assistant)
   
   
2. Can the attorney speak knowledgeably about the bankruptcy process and the laws?
   
   
3. Can the attorney answer ALL of your bankruptcy questions? If not, they do not know the law well enough to properly file your case.
   
   
4. Does the attorney keep up with continuing education for Bankruptcy Law and Procedures? Ask them!

Remember, Bankruptcy law is extremely complicated. Comprehensive knowledge of the Federal Bankruptcy law and attention to detail is a must for a successful filing, court appearance and discharge of your debts.

Attorney Lisa McKee provides candid and confidential advice to clients facing this tough decision. She can help you decide whether to file for a Chapter 7 (liquidation) or Chapter 13 (reorganization) bankruptcy. She will thoroughly explain every aspect of the law so that you understand and are comfortable with the process, as well as your rights and also the effects the bankruptcy will have on your life.

Lisa has assisted many families and individuals in the greater Sacramento area to make a new beginning and take back control of their lives. She can help you, too!

The Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention & Consumer Protection Act of 2005 (BAPCPA), which became law in October of 2005, requires debtors to pass more stringent guidelines to determine whether they can have their debts liquidated through Chapter 7 or whether they must enter a repayment plan through Chapter 13.  Because the new law makes it more difficult to file bankruptcy, it is imperative to consult with an experienced attorney who is familiar with the new laws.

Bankruptcy is complicated, especially with the advent of the new laws. A single mistake in the preparation of your case can have grievous results. Lisa is a Bankruptcy expert! Learn more...
