If posters have attorney recommendations, they can send them to you in a private message.
It definitely sounds like you should continue attorney shopping. This may help to confirm or deny your current heebie jeebies. I think most of us experience initial discomfort since the BK/attorney interviewing process is foreign to us. Many of us tend to think our cases and circumstances are ultra-unique...which contributes to the discomfort. For most, we learn in hindsight we're not so special.
Consultations will vary. Some attorneys offer general BK overviews while others will touch on personal factors. It's important to remember free doesn't typically go far. As I gained knowledge, I was able to address issues that concerned me during consults. I also prepared a list of questions and provided basic income/expense information. I had one attorney who willingly plugged numbers throughout the consultation and another who not only eased my fears verbally, he also provided documentation substantiating his claims (I tend to have a show me proof personality ).
If possible, try to get recommendations from others. I know many don't feel comfortable discussing BK status with friends or co-workers; although, I found them to be excellent resources. I contacted attorney friends (who worked outside the BK domain) for recommendations and ultimately selected my CPA's referral. Not only did I benefit by receiving referrals, I surprisingly discovered numerous individuals who had been through the BK process.
