Bankruptcy Lawyer Dirty Secrets
By National Association of Responsible Community Lending & Investment
The field of law has exploded in recent years, even though the process of filing for really only involves filling out a few forms. Misconceptions, frightening news articles, and misleading advertisements put out by many of the firms now specializing solely in law have convinced the average consumer that they absolutely must hire an expensive attorney in order to get rid of the money they owe.
Even if the client has an above-average number of questions or a combination of income, debt, and assets that are more complicated than most, an experienced lawyer should be able to handle a claim from start to finish in a matter of hours. Some honest legal professionals only bill their clients for this small amount of work, but the majority charges a minimum of $2,000 for a basic filing. In fact, in some areas, rates can skyrocket as high as $10,000 for a single case!
These inflated prices have actually driven many of the honest attorneys out of altogether, because once a client has been convinced that should cost them thousands of dollars, they are naturally wary of hiring anyone
who charges much less.
Filling out paperwork is so simple in many cases that attorneys have their secretaries fill it out. Yet the field has created so much money for certain greedy lawyers that instead of letting their clients know this, they instead pocket the cash and stand back and watch while filings needlessly get out of control.
No matter what circumstances brought you into your current financial situation, declaring should never be a first choice when trying to deal with high levels of debt. Especially after taking into account high attorney fees and new credit-card-friendly laws, it would be much better for you in both the short-and long-term if your financial difficulties are handled out of court.
