Filing bankruptcy can sometimes feel like an intimidating and overwhelming process when you try to go it alone. While it’s not impossible to file bankruptcy without the help of a lawyer, it is certainly much more difficult and stressful. But, how do you know which lawyer to turn to? In today’s blog here at Sanchez Garrison & Associates, LLP in Baltimore, we share some things you should look for when you are recruiting the services of a bankruptcy attorney.
If you are in the Baltimore area and need some guidance working through your bankruptcy situation, contact us at Sanchez Garrison & Associates, LLP. We have more than 50 years of experience and have navigated the tricky terrain of bankruptcy countless times.
Experience
When you want help from a bankruptcy attorney, quality experience is one of the first things that you should look for. While it is possible for an attorney straight out of law school to do a great job, do you really want to risk it? When you work with a bankruptcy attorney with a proven track record and relevant experience, you improve your chances of having a positive experience and outcome.
Some factors that you should keep an eye out for when looking for a bankruptcy attorney are:
- Education (where they studied law, what degree they achieved, etc.)
- Previous relevant work history
- Previous cases
- Years the firm has been in business
- Reviews from past clients

Empathy
While experience and knowledge are valuable, they aren’t everything. You want a bankruptcy lawyer that cares about you as an individual. Nobody wants to be treated like case 45233. You deserve to feel like the people helping you are invested in your well being and want to see you succeed. Your lawyer doesn’t have to be your best friend, but you should get the impression that they are treating you as an individual rather than just another client.
The best way to find out if your bankruptcy attorney is going to be understanding and help you on an individual basis is by setting up a meeting with them. When you meet people face to face, you can get a much better idea of who someone is and what they are about.
