Even though it may often appear so, not all Bankruptcy lawyers are the same. Some will build high volume practices with the primary objective to sign up as many cases as possible only to spend very little time on each case. Firms such as these often don't even have enough time to send their own attorneys to represent you on your case.
To make the required appearances, they tend to hire outside lawyers to appear for them. This is especially true in cases where the firm is located outside of your area. Should you sign up with one of these firms, you are likely to have minimal access to your attorney and if you are dissatisfied with their service you will likely have a very difficult time getting your money back.

In a Chapter 7 bankruptcy a debtor is required to surrender any assets whose value cannot be protected through the allowed exemptions. The bankruptcy trustee is then charged with the liquidation of such property to repay the debtor's unsecured creditors.
For the majority of individuals who find themselves in financial hardship, the types of assets they possess, such as household goods, retirement funds or older vehicles can be shielded by the allowed exemptions and therefore will not need to be liquidated by the bankruptcy trustee.Unlike a chapter 13 bankruptcy, a chapter 7 bankruptcy case does not involve the filing of a plan of repayment.

Q: Why should I spend money and hire an attorney to file for bankruptcy? A: In most self-filed bankruptcy cases no debt is discharged because the case fails. While being a tool that can be used by most anyone, Bankruptcy is a complex legal procedure. It has many deadlines the average person is unlikely to be aware of and requirements you may not meet.
