Sacramento has been hard hit by the recession. The entire state is in bad shape, according to most sources. Almost every Sacramento bankruptcy lawyer is reporting that their business year to date is much higher. Not that your average Sacramento bankruptcy lawyer is taking any pleasure in this fact, but it is a reality none the less. The typical Sacramento bankruptcy lawyer is doing the best they can to help stabilize the economy by working with clients one by one to work out problems between creditors and debtors. Each person who gets his or her personal finances reorganized is actually contributing to helping the local economy correct itself. The question then becomes how to find a good lawyer. The first step is to ask friends and relatives. You might be surprised by how many people close to you have had to contact a lawyer to get their personal finances in order. If you cannot get any good referrals from friends or relatives then the internet has a lot of information on individual lawyers. Check out their web sites. Once you pick out one or two then prepare an interview for them. Yes, an interview for them. You need to be your own best advocate. Take some time to try to plan out where you want to be in two, three or even five years. Your lawyer will help you, but it's up to you to decide things. Your lawyer may advise that you file Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy. Chapter 7 will have you liquidate your assets and pay off creditors and Chapter 13 will have you set a schedule for repayment of creditors. Or your advice may be more conservative. You may be told to get on a budget, get a second job or even sell off some toys. This will be your first stop on the road to economic recovery.
