Hiring a bankruptcy attorney can save you from costly mistakes and delays.
Technically, it is possible for an individual to file a bankruptcy petition without the help of an attorney. But why would you want to? The small amount you would save by not hiring an attorney could easily be outweighed by costs and delays related to taking a DIY approach.
Here are 5 reasons hiring a bankruptcy attorney shouldn’t be viewed as an expense but as an investment.
Your Time is Valuable.
Bankruptcy law can be complicated. Why spend your time trying to become an expert in bankruptcy law when you could simply consult a skilled attorney for help? The attorneys at California Bankruptcy Relief already understand all the rules and restrictions on eligibility for different type of bankruptcy, as well as the procedures for filing. We’ll fill out all the forms for you and make sure your paperwork is done right the first time. When you weigh the hours and hours of your own time that would be required to do all this against our reasonable fees, you’ll see our services are an excellent investment.
You’ll Be Poised for Maximum Debt Relief
At California Bankruptcy Relief, we can make sure you are choosing the correct type of bankruptcy that is going to provide the best relief from the specific types of debt that you have. We have plenty of experience with the California Means Test and we will make sure you know if you are eligible for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, which provides the best relief from unsecured debts like credit cards.
You’ll Get Help Protecting Your Assets
Depending on the type of bankruptcy you file, you may have a choice as to which set of California Exemptions you use to protect your personal assets. We can help you choose the best set for your needs. We can also help you understand how to handle your mortgage or car loan if you wish to keep your home and vehicle during the bankruptcy proceeding.
You’ll Prevent Errors That Could Be Viewed As Fraud
It is really important to avoid anything that even gives the appearance of fraud in your bankruptcy petition. Working with an attorney can help, because we will educate you about the kinds of things that make bankruptcy courts suspicious. By making sure your petition is beyond reproach, we can not only save you from the delays that would come out of a fraud investigation but also from serious fines that could apply in case of a conviction.
You’ll Get Relief Faster
One final reason that hiring a bankruptcy attorney is a good investment is that your bankruptcy petition will get approved ASAP. We will make sure your paperwork is accurate, complete, and filed on time so that the process goes smoothly for you.
