Filing for bankruptcy can be complicated. Your house, car, cash, and other assets could be at risk. Hiring the right attorney may be the most important decision you make once you've decided it's time to file bankruptcy. Three important factors to research when searching for a bankruptcy attorney are: 1) Reputation, 2) Experience, and 3) Location.

Is the lawyer reputable in the area of bankruptcy law?
In the age of the internet, it's easy to google a lawyers name and see what people have to say about them. Although a law firm's website might have testimonials from prior client's, reviews on third-party websites may have more credibility. In addition to google reviews, there are websites such as Avvo.com, Martindale.com, and others that provide a platform for former client's to review their attorneys. By reading reviews you can get a pretty good idea as to whether client's are satisfied with the level of service they received. When hiring a bankruptcy lawyer, you want to be able to count on your lawyer to be accessable and smoothly guide you through the process. Don't compromise on hiring a lawyer with a questionable reputation.
Is the lawyer experienced in the area of bankruptcy law?
Every bankruptcy filer has their own unique circumstances, so it's important to find a lawyer that has the right experience for your situation. Some people are struggling with credit card debts, while others have tax debts, student loans, and mortgage arrears. Some lawyers focus on consumer bankruptcies, such as chapter 7 and chapter 13's, while other lawyers gear their practice towards re-organizing financially distressed businesses. Research the attorney to determine whether they handle the type of bankruptcy you require, and when speaking with the attorney, pose to them any particular concerns you have about your case. Doing so will give you a good idea as to whether an attorney is a good fit for your case.
Is the law firm in a convenient location for your needs?
While reputation and experience are very important, it's also imperative that your bankruptcy attorney is accessable. Hence, many people specifically search for a "Bankruptcy Lawyer Near Me". Most bankruptcies require an initial meeting with the attorney, as well as a final meeting before the bankruptcy is filed. There might also be interim meetings to drop-off documents and to discuss the file. Most people will benefit from hiring an attorney that is either close to where they live or work, so that they can stop by without unneccesary hassle.
