I Heard That . .. Every Lawyer is the Same.
I Just Need the Best Price.
I Just Need the Best Price.
People are different and so are lawyers. (Despite most jokes, lawyers are people too!)
Lawyers are more comfortable and experienced handling different types of cases, even different types of bankruptcies. We prefer to handle cases involving individual consumers and small businesses. Others prefer to represent large businesses or large creditors.
Even among "consumer bankruptcy" lawyers like us, there are wide differences. Some are very active in bar groups, devote a great deal fo time and study to the profession. Others prefer to focus on moving a lot of (hopefully) simple cases through the process without knowing all the options, and only learn all the issues if a client runs into obvious trouble.
For example, many attorneys charge less "up front" for a Chapter 13 but was that a better deal? What if it takes 3 - 5 years and you pay several thousand dollars back that you could have wiped out in less than 6 months in a Chapter 7? Or what if you save $100 on a quick Chapter 7 but you lose something you wanted to keep or end up paying back a loan you might otherwise have wiped out, how much did you save? If you are trying to address thousands of dollars of debt and restructure all your financial affairs, saving a few dollars is important but do you know what you give up?
Our practice is devoted to helping families achieve a financial fresh start.
We do not try to handle very large volumes of cases. We can devote more time and care to our clients. We do spend a lot fo time keeping up with recent developments in the law, being leaders in the profession, and assuring ourselves that we can see the risks for our clients -- before disaster strikes, not afterwards.
We take a great deal of pride in our work and our reputation in the legal community so if we can help, we will, at a fair price. If we cannot, we can probably refer you to someone who can. It's that simple.
