YouTube- Understanding Bankruptcy Attorney Fees and Payment Plans

Thank you for watching today’s YouTube video. Today’s video addresses attorney fees associated with filing for bankruptcy. You can watch the video below or via my YouTube channel and other videos focusing on various subjects by following this link.

Here are the key points summarized:

Bankruptcy Attorney Fees

First, note that bankruptcy attorney fees vary depending on location, the lawyer’s experience, and the case facts. However, most bankruptcy lawyers offer flexible payment plans. Don’t be pressured into large upfront payments. Shop around; there is no shortage of bankruptcy lawyers who will accept your case with a minimal deposit.

Issues to Discuss with the Bankruptcy Lawyer

If you have been using your credit cards recently, this can raise red flags for the bankruptcy trustee. If there were large purchases recently, that could result in the lawyer delaying the bankruptcy case. Likewise, you cannot pay for your lawyer with a credit card.

• Did the Trustee Abandon Your Car?
• Guess Who Wants to Take Away Your Taxes!

Because bankruptcy is complicated, the best way to avoid mistakes is to be honest with your lawyer. Chances are you are not going to tell your lawyer something they haven’t dealt with before, so don’t be embarrassed. Remember, your consultations are confidential.

Finding the Right Lawyer

For lack of a comparable term, lawyers, like doctors, could lack in bedside matters. However, the relationships are very different, mainly because there is more communication between a lawyer and client versus a doctor and patient. So, hire a lawyer who can answer your questions and address your concerns. If you are uncomfortable with the lawyer, seek a second opinion.
