Qualities to Look For in a Louisiana Bankruptcy Attorney

April 22, 2019BankruptcyE. Orum Young

Filing bankruptcy can be a tedious process to do on your own, which is why it is imperative to choose the right lawyer when seeking legal counsel. To ensure your case goes in qualified hands, you must show due diligence by making your selection with proper consideration, and not on a whim. There are many factors to consider in determining if a lawyer is right for you, and we provide some essential qualities to consider.

Cost

When choosing your lawyer, keep in mind cheaper isn’t always better and high fees don’t guarantee the best representation. The lawyer should review your specific case with you to understand what will be required to provide a fair estimate. If an attorney gives you a flat fee over the phone without receiving the details of your case, you may be speaking with someone who is not knowledgeable of the intricacies of a bankruptcy case.

Relationship

It is essential for you to feel comfortable with your lawyer. Your lawyer should be able to easily build a professional relationship with you to best understand your case. A knowledgeable and passionate lawyer who is willing to listen and answer your questions, address concerns and guide you to a solution that’s in your best interest are key qualities to look for in legal representation. Passion has a way of molding relationships for the better as it can push your attorney to work aggressively on your behalf throughout all case proceedings.

Experience

Many lawyers boast their years of experience. Be sure to choose a lawyer with years of experience specifically in bankruptcy law and not another field like family law. For a lawyer to best represent you, he or she must have a thorough understanding of Louisiana bankruptcy law and experience handling different types of bankruptcies. Though choosing a lawyer with only a few cases is not recommended, be wary of firms with hundreds of bankruptcy cases, as they may rush to complete your case and move on to another client.

Reputation

Even with years of experience, a lawyer can be bad at his or her job. To learn more about your lawyer’s reputation, ask for referrals from former clients. Word of mouth is still valuable when judging services, and it can save you plenty. Choose a law firm with a presence online, and check their reviews and lawyer profiles. A strong social media presence can be a good sign that they care about maintaining relationships with their clients to stay a reputable choice. You can be even more meticulous by visiting the Better Business Bureau’s or the State Bar’s website to see complaints filed against the company.
