The bankruptcy process is not "One size fits all." Each case is unique with subtle differences that the bankruptcy lawyer is familiar with. A bankruptcy lawyer will first listen to his client to gain an understanding of their specific circumstances. He will ask questions to obtain relevant information. An analysis will follow; the bankruptcy lawyer will then explain the choices available, which chapter should be filed and why. The process from start to finish is explained until the client feels comfortable with their decision.
The bankruptcy petition is then prepared. One job of the bankruptcy lawyer is to make sure the correct exemptions are taken so the client can keep their home, car, home furnishings and retirement plan as well as other property. A petition asks very specific questions and the bankruptcy lawyer will make sure all the correct information is provided as well as know what information is not appropriate to include in the petition. He will answer all clients' questions in order to proceed with assurance and confidence.
