How We Do Bankruptcy Differently

My Office is different than any other you will find.  Almost everyone with whom we speak compliments our down-to-earth approach, and our friendly attitude.  I think it’s HUGE that we do our Consultations over the phone.  When you call, we’ll answer your questions and explain the Bankruptcy process in as much (or little) detail as you want.

We’ll NEVER press anyone to “come in,” or make an appointment.

In fact, I think anyone looking to hire a Lawyer should call around and check out different Offices.  When I’m looking for anything, I always do some comparison shopping. Why should hiring a Lawyer be any different?

To the best of my knowledge, no other Office suggests this.  What’s the big secret, anyway?

In terms of price, my Fees are in about the middle of the price range you’re going to find when you check around.  My fee in a Standard Chapter 7 Bankruptcy is $901, plus the $299 Federal Court Filing Fee, for a total of $1200. We start protecting you from your Creditors with the first $100 down-payment.  There are no hidden costs. It's that simple.  We do, however, give a $50 discount on all cases paid in full at our first meeting.

I have no interest in competing to be the “low bidder,” and I believe the quality of Legal services absolutely suffers when too many corners are cut.  In fact, a recent MSN MONEY article makes just that point, and warns consumers away from this practice.

On the other hand, it is important to avoid paying too much for a Bankruptcy, as well.  Being good enough to get the job done right is about all the qualification anyone needs. 

Perhaps the biggest difference between my Office and any other I know about is how we do our intakes.  My Office has NO forms to fill out.  Unlike other places, which give their Clients a whole packet of forms to complete, we go over everything in person.  This avoids any misunderstand about how to value something, or the possibility of leaving something out. 

I cannot imagine charging a Client for a Bankruptcy and making them do the work by giving them a packet of confusing paperwork to fill out!

Typically, at our first Client meeting, we’ll spend about an hour and a half with them.  You’ve got to put in the time to do things right.

And this is why my Office can boast a 100% success rate in Bankruptcy.

For all of that, you can tell a lot about any operation form the moment you call. This is why I always advise anyone looking to hire a Lawyer for any reason to do their homework, and call around.  Chances are that whatever impression you first form when you speak with someone is pretty accurate.  That’s why, in my Office, whoever takes a call is, at that moment, the Director of First Impressions.

No description, however, can replace the knowledge that comes from picking up the phone and finding out for yourself how different we are.
