Finding A Good Bankruptcy Attorney

By Clemencia Winterberg


Many of us are often in awe of lawyers, some of whom seem to enjoy the status that doctors and even actors enjoy. In fact, it is probably true to say that a lot of us are even intimidated by dealing with lawyers; after all, they are often better educated and better off financially than we are.

Unfortunately, although most lawyers are decent people and are simply doing their job, some of them are somewhat arrogant and difficult to deal with. We all usually have to deal with a lawyer at some point in our life and if you do, it is important to use the services of someone that you can trust.

If you are using a lawyer, he or she needs to be able to get justice for you and effectively address your issue. The court system is set up for the innocent though, and if you have hired a lawyer that treated you wrong, then you are innocent and they should have to pay for their mistreatment.

There are things that you can do to make this happen, if he or she refuses. If you are not satisfied with your bankruptcy attorney, you can file a complaint with various bodies, including consumer protection agencies and your State Bar Association.

CitySearch is a website that allows you to post reviews of a company or organization, and you can post on there, as well as on other sites. All lawyers need to safeguard their reputation, and attacking that is perhaps your biggest chance of winning.

Do not get pushed around. Lawyers will know the importance of their reputation, and that is one thing that you have over them. There is no need to be worried about getting sued if you write an honest complaint about a lawyer on a review site. These lawyers have to abide by the law themselves. You have the right to your opinion.

Filing for bankruptcy is hard enough for most people, without having an inadequate attorney to deal with as well. Make sure you do your homework and find out everything you can about an attorney before hiring him or her to represent you.
