10 Tips for Finding a Bankruptcy Lawyer in Dallas

Post by Christopher Migliaccio

Filing for bankruptcy in Dallas is complicated, as there are rules and deadlines to heed for a successful filing. Mistakes can lead to a court rejecting your case. So finding the right bankruptcy attorney is crucial. Here are 10 tips on how to find a good bankruptcy lawyer.

Look Online 

The Internet is a great resource for bankruptcy attorneys in your area. Look for one who specializes in bankruptcy law, and has practiced it for many years. Check out their websites for answers to your questions, or schedule a consultation with a bankruptcy attorney in Dallas.

Get in Touch with the Texas Bar Association 

The Texas Bar Association has a listing of all bankruptcy attorneys licensed to practice in your area, and also access to complaints about the lawyers. This lets you know if the attorneys you’re considering have had any disciplinary action taken against them, or any complaint pending.

Contact Your Local Bankruptcy Court 

Contact your bankruptcy court in Dallas for information of attorneys licensed to practice bankruptcy law. Be aware the court is not endorsing any of them but merely providing you with information. Do your own research and screen lawyers to find one that’s right for you.

Schedule a Meeting 

Once you have shortlisted a few Dallas attorneys, schedule a face-to-face meeting to determine if one is a match for you. Have a list of questions ready.

Right Kind of Experience 

You want not only an attorney who has experience in bankruptcy law, but one with experience in filing your type of bankruptcy filing.

Determine That the Attorney Belongs to a Professional Organization 

Check if the bankruptcy attorney you’re considering belongs to a professional organization, like the National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys.

Accessibility 

Your bankruptcy will be a turning point in your personal life as well as professional life. You want a lawyer who’s accessible in person, and won’t simply pass off your case to a subordinate. Two questions can show you how to find a good bankruptcy lawyer. Is it easy to make an appointment with the lawyer? Is he or she willing to take phone calls?

Large Firms or Small Firms 

Determine whether you want the more extensive financial and legal resources and solid experience of a larger Dallas firm, or the accessibility and greater attention of a smaller firm.

Ask for References 

Ask for references from past clients who have received the lawyer’s services. Call these people and ask them about their experience with the lawyer.

Personality 

No matter how experienced or competent your lawyer, if you do not gel with him or her personally, it may be the wrong fit for you.

Call 888-584-9614 to speak to a Dallas bankruptcy attorney at Warren and Migliaccio, and discuss your bankruptcy filing.  You can also fill out the online form for an evaluation of your case.
