Your initial meeting with a bankruptcy lawyer should give the lawyer an opportunity to assess your financial situation, your goals, and the options that are open to you. It should give you a chance to determine if you communicate well with the lawyer and if you have confidence that your matter is approached with care and competence. You should leave a first meeting with a bankruptcy lawyer understanding your options, or what additional information is needed to lay out your options, and with an opinion as to how well you and the lawyer will work together. Don’t be reluctant to leave that meeting without retaining the lawyer. If you have concerns about the match between you and lawyer, interview another lawyer. Be willing to think your choices over before committing yourself.
Bankruptcy, as far as the Federal Bankruptcy US Code is concerned, is the process undergone when a business or individual seeks relief from their debts. The Federal Code Law provides for the development of a plan that allows a debtor, who is unable to pay his creditors, to resolve his debts through the division of his assets among his creditors. The proceedings involved in invoking bankruptcy are supervised by and litigated in the United States Bankruptcy Courts. The Bankruptcy Code provides that creditors must stop all collection efforts against the debtor, and allows the debtor to organize his assets and settle his debt and credit accounts in a feasible manner.
