Filing Bankruptcy in Michigan: 3 Tips to Pick the Right Michigan Bankruptcy Attorney
1. Specializes in Bankruptcy
If you are an individual or married couple and have household debt, you want to look for a specialist in consumer bankruptcy. In the metro Detroit Michigan area, there are only about 5 bankruptcy attorneys who specialize in consumer bankruptcy law and limit their practice to representing only the people filing bankruptcy. The American Board of Certification certifies bankruptcy attorneys across the United States. A Board Certified Consumer Bankruptcy Attorney has passed a rigorous screening process and written examinations in addition to the State Bar exam to certify the specialization. I myself have been a Board Certified Consumer Bankruptcy Attorney in Michigan since 2005 and you can verify that here: http://www.abcworld.org/search/attorney/details.php?id=527
2. Experience in Consumer Bankruptcy in Michigan
3. Affordability and Personality.
Many people think that hiring a specialist will be much more expensive than a less experienced attorney. That is not always true. Most less experienced attorneys will charge more because they will need to spend more time brushing up on the law to be comfortable filing your case. I have a very efficient office and pride myself on offering high quality bankruptcy services at a very reasonable fee.

My legal fees for filing bankruptcy are very reasonable and payment plans and low income discounts are available.
I offer free face-to-face evaluations and bankruptcy consultations always with an attorney at which time you will be counseled on whether bankruptcy is the right decision for you and your family and if so, whether you should file a Chapter 7 bankruptcy or Chapter 13 bankruptcy case. I encourage all potential clients to come into my office and meet me and my staff. It is important that you feel comfortable with your attorney who will work with you through the bankruptcy process to achieve the goal of a fresh financial start. I strive to treat my clients with respect and understand the difficult times you may be going through. I understand that coming to see a bankruptcy attorney can be difficult and even embarrassing and try to reassure my clients who may be apprehensive about it. I have helped many friends and even family eliminate their debt when they have had financial difficulties.
