So what Should a Bankruptcy Consultation be?

[salsa]

So two consultations down, both quite different. 3 more to go. What should a consultation include?

I had 2 prior to my filing but we went over my overall financial situation, why I thought I was considering filing, fees, timeframes, and opinion etc. Took about 30 min each

But you also need ask how their office works:

Does the office prefer e-mail or phone contact?
What is the average length of time you need to wait before you receive an answer?
Who will be at my 341 with me? You? An associate?
How many bankruptcies did your office file last month? Last year?
Do your fees include filing any reaffirmations or APs? What are the rates for those if they aren't covered?

Little things mean a lot - never more so than when it includes your financial future.

Good luck!

I wish I had read that moranlaw site before I ever filed to start. Very good detailed info there
