Finding An Austin Bankruptcy Lawyer

By Serena Price


In business, just like in life, there comes a time when the going may get really hard. In a business scenario, this can be characterized by an organization not being able to repay its creditors. When such a time comes, it will be important for the company to start the process of recruiting an Austin bankruptcy attorney. This is an attorney that can help the business deal with the legal situation it has recently found itself in.

It is painful for most people to start the search for a good lawyer. Procrastinating does not help. The more you wait, the more time that elapses and you might find yourself making a rushed search that could see you and an inexperienced lawyer.

Establish what business acquaintances you have made in the last few years. Of these, ask yourself which might know a good liquidation lawyer. If you happen to have a personal lawyer, seek recommendations from him on the same case.

Be sure to spend a day at the insolvency courts. Watching and listening to the lawyers will give you an idea on the type of lawyer you want to work with. While at the courts, you could also find out which lawyers specialize in this particular legal discipline.

Liquidation court panels are available in each state. For a lawyer to be allowed to sit in such a panel, he must be someone who is well respected. He will also be someone who appears regularly in court to represent a client of his.

Visiting the law offices of any candidate being considered is very important. Just take time to observe the paralegals at work. Observe their coordination, how they go about their duties and the overall morale that is present in the office.

Once you come across suitable candidates, be sure to ask a lot of questions. Questions to ask can include; the certifications they have, cases handled in a month, how many cases have been handled so far and of the total number of cases filed, how many could be categorized under business filings. You should also ask questions related to the procedures that will be followed.

Even though your financial situation could be dire, this does not mean that you should compromise your situation even further. Going for an attorney just because he is cheap will make your chances worse. Remember that in life what you pay for is usually what you get.

Specifics on all payable fees should be collected. This is information that can be provided the attorney upon request. Request him to include all the charges that will be made. Where special professionals may be called in, let him specify whether the money is included in his fees or whether it is an additional charge.

When you have hired an Austin Bankruptcy lawyer, it will be important to make certain you get involved at all times. Request for copies of all documents filed. Double check all filings to confirm that names of creditors have not been left out.
