twin cities bankruptcy lawyerAre you tired of spending your evenings pouring over bills that you cannot pay? Have you reached the end of your financial rope and you are ready to consider filing bankruptcy? Filing bankruptcy is a serious step; however, filing bankruptcy is a step that will put you on the road to financial recovery.

Now that you are ready to file bankruptcy, you need to choose the best Twin Cities bankruptcy lawyer to represent you. You may have seen television commercials, surfed the web, and asked family and friends for recommendations for the best Twin Cities bankruptcy lawyer. So what would I and our other attorneys do if they were in your position and they needed to find the best attorney in a specific area of law?

Searching for the Best Twin Cities Bankruptcy Lawyer

Testimonials and Reviews

One of the best ways to find the best Twin Cities bankruptcy lawyer is to read testimonials and reviews from previous clients. If clients are truly happy and satisfied with the representation they received from a bankruptcy law firm, they will be willing to put their name on the review. You may be able to find testimonials and reviews on the attorney’s website, Facebook, or attached to their Google search results.

You should also ask friends and family for referrals. If you know someone who has filed for bankruptcy, a referral from this person can be very valuable because you can ask specific questions such as:

  • “How easy was the process?”
  • “Did the law firm make you do the work or did they do it for you?”
  • “Were the attorneys approachable and easy to get in touch with after you hired the law firm?”
  • “How long did it take to file your bankruptcy petition after you retained the law firm?”

Visit Their Websites

Once you have a short list of Twin Cities bankruptcy lawyers, visit their websites and read all of the information on the website, especially the information provided about bankruptcy. The best Twin Cities bankruptcy lawyer is going to provide an explanation of bankruptcy and answers to bankruptcy questions in easy to understand terms on their website. A good attorney understands that you have questions and you want answers right now, regardless of whether it is three o’clock in the afternoon or three o’clock in the morning.

Our website explains the different chapters of bankruptcy and explains how filing bankruptcy can help you resolve your debt problems. We have developed several resources and free eBooks that we provide free of charge on our website to help you as you consider filing a bankruptcy case.

Sign Up for a Free Bankruptcy Consultation

Most bankruptcy attorneys offer free consultations. DO NOT feel obligated to work with the first firm you meet with when searching for a bankruptcy attorney. Not all bankruptcy law firms are as dedicated to their clients as other law firms are. Furthermore, you need to work with an attorney and a law firm that you feel comfortable with and that you can trust to put your best interests first. Until you meet with several law firms, you may not be able to determine the “right fit” for you.

By meeting with several bankruptcy attorneys, you will have the ability to compare:

  • Answers and advice you receive
  • How much time the attorney spends with you (does he rush you or cut you off)
  • How you are treated by the law firm’s staff
  • Price versus the quality of service provided (i.e. how long does the process take, how much work are you required to do, etc.)

Sometimes you may find the best Twin Cities bankruptcy lawyer during your very first bankruptcy consultation. That is how most people feel when they meet with our law firm. For those who have already decided bankruptcy is their best option, they retain us during the first appointment and we file their bankruptcy case during the second appointment – that is all it takes to file bankruptcy in our office, just two appointments. We know your time is valuable so we do not waste it. We also do not make you do the work alone because that is why you are hiring us.

Making the Final Choice

The final decision for you who choose as your bankruptcy attorney should all come down to your gut. If you feel uneasy about a certain attorney, move on to the next one. We guarantee that if you’re having doubts about working with them, you will not enjoy your experience. You should feel welcomed, relieved, and maybe even excited when you meet with your bankruptcy attorney. After all, they will be the one helping you get your life back.
