We hope that after reading up a bit, you’ll seek out someone you can trust to advise you. It shouldn’t cost you anything, as most bankruptcy attorneys offer free consultations.  We encourage you to invest some time and visit a few attorneys. If you don’t receive courteous, respectful service and some good advice—keep looking.  Your persistence will be rewarded, since choosing the right attorney will make an otherwise demanding process as stress-free and easy as buying a new pair of sneakers.  (Well almost, anyway).
