My consultations are probably a little bit different than most attorneys. I offer a free one-hour consultation. I recommend that you bring as much information on your paycheck stubs and what you owe and your monthly budget. We’ll go over that when you call in and we’ll figure out what you need to bring with you.
We sit down and we talk about what the problem is and what your goals are for filing bankruptcy and then we go through your income and your expenses. We go over what you owe and who you owe, what you want to achieve if you want to keep your car and how we can go about doing that, or even what to do if you’re trying to save a house.
We just basically talk about your finances and how you would like to go forward and what a bankruptcy would do for you. I try not to recommend bankruptcy to people that don’t need a bankruptcy and without sitting down and going through your finances, we don’t know for sure until we’ve actually had that conversation. So I tell people to expect about an hour of sitting down and talking and then figuring out how to go from there and what’s the next step for you.
