By Serena Price


Most people only start looking for bankruptcy attorneys once they are in financial crisis. Under such stressful circumstances, it is very easy to just settle on the first attorney who seems friendly and supportive without dwelling so much into his or her credentials. Choosing a good lawyer or law firm is very crucial to you reclaiming your financial freedom. Below are tips to help you find the best Salinas bankruptcy lawyer.

Word of mouth still remains the best way to finding any service provider weather it a plumber or attorney. For the case of insolvency attorney, it may be difficult because most people do not always want to discuss their past experiences. However, if you know anybody who successfully applied for insolvency before, you can ask him/her for the lawyer they used. This will make your work easy and also shorten the process for you.

You should also set up consultative meeting with your prospective attorney. A good insolvency attorney will offer you free consultation. Your case obviously deserves free and honest assessment to determine possible options and whether filing for insolvency is the best option for you. Meeting with a few lawyers face to face will give you the opportunity to ask them important questions about their experience, knowledge and practice. Avoid attorneys who cannot provide answers to these questions.

Legal fee is another very important factor. Do not hire the most expensive attorney thinking that he/she will guarantee you success. After all, price is not always indicative of the quality of services. The best approach when considering legal fee is to comparison shop and choose the lawyer whose charges seem realistic.

When selecting a law firm, you should also ensure that it has experienced attorneys in the area of insolvency. Bankruptcy is a very technical and highly specialized aspect of law. As such, a novice may not excel in it especially if the case is a complex one. This is why you need to look for lawyers with wealth of experience in the field.

You can as well run an online search. Internet is fast becoming a big market place for ideas. However, there are both good and bad ideas over the internet. As such, you should treat attorneys you find over the internet with a lot of caution lest you fall a victim of con men.

Going through bankruptcy is usually very stressful and it does not stop with the choice of attorney. You will need to be in contact with your lawyer throughout the court process. As such, you should look for someone who is not too busy to meet you whenever there is need.

With the above tips in mind, you should be able to find a good Salinas bankruptcy lawyer for your case. You must also start the search early enough. Do not wait to start the search just one day to the hearing. You will definitely not find a good one.
