Getting ready to file kind of scary. Anyways I've been reading how it's important to find a good attorney to get the beat deal. So my dilemma how to pick a good one. Has anyone here filed in Springfield Illinois before and any reccomendations on a good lawyer or firm

Not familiar with IL attorneys but I called several places, had free consultations with several and Googled all of them for consumer reviews etc. Also looked them up on the BBB and any and every message board I could find.

Personally, I think choosing an attorney is the scariest part of the whole process. It is overwhelming, and hard to know who to trust. Sorry, I don't have any suggestions other than the ones offered here. There are some "lists of questions to ask attorneys prior to hiring one" available. Just google.....Tried debt settlmnt, stopped paying all cards 5/09/--filed bk no asset ch7 in 11/2010---DISCHARGED 2/2011!!!
Still waiting to see how much more Bank of America and Fannie Mae can ruin us

Yes that's what I'm scared about picking the right lawyer. I have to file chapter 13 so I think there maybe some sort of formula I have to repay regardless anyway
Not totally sure. Just stressed and confusedComment

After interviewing 2, I had a strong positive gut feeling about #2 and went with her. I was very pleased throughout the whole process. I found her on the internet and bankruptcy is all she does.Comment
