How Should I Prepare Before Meeting With an Attorney?
You do not need to bring anything with you to your first meeting with the lawyer. However, we may advise you when you call our office to gather certain things together before coming. This will save some time down the road in preparing your case for filing.
When first meeting with the bankruptcy attorney, you should be prepared to answer the following questions:
- What types of debt are causing you the most trouble?
- What are your significant assets?
- How did your debts arise and are they secured (e.g. car loans, mortgages)?
- Is any action about to occur to foreclose or repossess property or to shut off utility service?
- What are your goals in filing the case?
While possible, filing bankruptcy on your own is a difficult process and you risk losing property or other rights.
