It is odd that I have to say this, but if a Minnesota resident intends to file for bankruptcy in Minnesota, choose a Minnesota BASED law firm. Why do I say this? Because there are out of state law firm’s soliciting Minnesota residents to file bankruptcy using an out of state law firm- some of who refer you back to a Minnesota lawyer who doesn’t have the same bankruptcy experience many other Minnesota bankruptcy attorneys have.
When I hire professionals, I expect 3 things: First, I expect you to know what you are doing. Why would you hire a foot doctor to do heart surgery on you- why? Don’t you want someone who focuses on 100% Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 Bankruptcy work? Don’t hire someone who is a jack of all trades and a master of none.
Second, I expect you to be nice to me. I really hate the fact that is even an issue but trust me it is. I hear stories all the time of lawyers, law firms, sales people that are rude. I hear stories about how these people will hang up the phone on you and hope you don’t call back? What kind of service is this?
Third, I expect not to have any communication problems with staff and lawyers. When you hire a law firm locally, the chances of having communication problems are lower because you are dealing directly with the law firm you hired, not going through some intermediary business to speak with your lawyer.
However, whether you are hiring a local bankruptcy attorney or would like to take your chances on an out of state business, if you are having communication problems with the business, fire them and hire someone else. That is what I do.
