how do you find an attorney??

I am having no luck finding one. Was hoping to find one who deals mainly in BK's.
How did you find yours?

[StartingOver08]

Got referrals from my real estate attorney and also googled BK attorneys in my area.

If you list the area you live in on these boards you just might get some private message referrals from your neighbors. It worked for me and I'm very pleased with the attorney we ended up with.

You DEFINITELY want one who specializes in bankruptcy, but not a "bankruptcy mill." I got mine by asking some attorney friends of mine for referrals. Two of them gave the same name, so I went with that guy. It couldn't have been smoother or easier for me. Do you know any lawyers who might know someone?

I had success with getting a few referrals from my county's bar association and making free initial consultations.

another option is go to 341's and see who is on the ball has their paperwork in order, etc. My lawyer was OK but some of the lawyers i saw at the 341 made their clients at ease and knew their stuff.

If you don't get any specific names PM'd to you try calling some attorneys that participate in the Ohio Bar Association's referral service http://ohiobar.org/pub/?articleid=72

My attorney was a referral from credit counselor. Was a great choice.

Call your trustee's office and ask. No one knows BK lawyers better than s/he does.

I suspect most don't send weekly updates. If you need to discuss something with your attorney, you should take the initiative.
