Choosing a Bankruptcy Attorney

It is possible to represent yourself in a bankruptcy proceeding – at least a Chapter 7 one, which involves liquidation of your assets. But, in most cases, it’s far wiser to be represented by a skilled bankruptcy attorney. That way, you’ll be sure to keep more of your assets and discharge more of your debt.

Here are some guidelines for choosing a bankruptcy attorney, including reasons why you should consider a Seattle bankruptcy attorney at Resolve Legal:

• Look for an attorney that understands consumer bankruptcy law. Resolve Legal, located in downtown Seattle, was founded to provide legal services solely for consumer bankruptcies. Each attorney in our firm is a seasoned Seattle bankruptcy attorney providing quality services in Seattle and throughout the Puget Sound area.

• Look for an attorney that is experienced. Each Seattle bankruptcy attorney at Resolve Legal has practiced bankruptcy law, including consumer bankruptcy law, for many years. Consequently, when you’re represented by a Seattle bankruptcy attorney at Resolve Legal, you have an experienced bankruptcy practitioner on your side.

• Look for an attorney with excellent credentials. Each Seattle bankruptcy attorney at Resolve Legal attended a leading law school. In addition, each Seattle bankruptcy attorney at Resolve Legal previously practiced law with one of the Seattle area’s largest law firms. So each Seattle bankruptcy attorney at Resolve Legal has the type of “big firm” experience that will be invaluable in your bankruptcy proceeding.

• Look for an attorney with the best possible skill set. Because each Seattle bankruptcy attorney at Resolve Legal focuses primarily on bankruptcy cases, each brings a bigger legal “toolkit” to your individual case. Consequently, when represented by a Seattle bankruptcy attorney at Resolve Legal, you can be assured of an excellent result.

• Look for an attorney that’s not part of a bankruptcy “mill.” Many bankruptcy attorneys try to attract clients through low fees. Often these attorneys operate “mills,” designed to process as many bankruptcies as possible by treating clients’ financial problems all the same. That’s not the Resolve Legal approach. We don’t compete on price. Instead, we compete on quality. For each client, a Seattle bankruptcy attorney in our organization reviews the client’s individual financial and legal situation and designs the most appropriate action plan.
