Published Press Release by: LISA R. WILSON
Deciding to file for bankruptcy is a difficult decision. Although some bankruptcy claimants are deemed as credit abusers and/or considered financially irresponsible, many individuals and businesses can succumb to financial difficulty and face irreparable economic crisis. Bankruptcy is designed as a legal option to help resolve such a crisis, and act as a financial life preserver for those drowning in debt. The most common reasons for filing for bankruptcy are unemployment, large medical expenses, overextended credit and other large unexpected expenses.
LawInfo has expanded its free online national directory to include experienced and qualified bankruptcy attorneys. These attorneys are a part of LawInfo’s signature service, the Lead Counsel Program, which provides pre-screened bankruptcy lawyers through a simple, 2-click accessible attorney directory. The Lead Counsel Program has resulted in the enhanced screening of attorneys’ credentials and has become a symbol of quality assurance for consumers searching for legal representation.
In addition to providing access to qualified, Lead Counsel bankruptcy and foreclosure attorneys throughout the nation, LawInfo’s legal resource center (LRC) can also help the public locate qualified legal experts nationwide– including bail bondsmen, expert witnesses, private investigators, court reporters, process servers, paralegals and litigation funders. Further, LawInfo has created the largest interactive legal forum with over 1200 message boards as a resource for the Internet community. The boards provide an opportunity to research information and share commentary on a multitude of legal topics.
LawInfo has also expanded its free online legal resource center to include a comprehensive legal blog–incorporating interactive polls, providing access to volumes of legal archives and keeping a live feed on breaking legal news that is updated around the clock. LawInfo has produced online videos that take the mystery out of the legal process by breaking down complex legal problems into clear, easy-to-understand solutions. These “How-to” videos provide information on a variety of legal topics in all major areas of law, including bankruptcy, foreclosure, family law, estate planning, criminal law, business, and labor and employment.

LawInfo is staffed by experienced legal industry professionals and their corporate offices are located in San Marcos, California, just thirty minutes north of San Diego.
I really like the approach but how does one “vet” an attorney? One usually knows about their abilities and work ethic after the results are known. We need BK attorneys in all jurisdictions for our clients.

I would hire a bankruptcy attorney to get protected from creditor harassment: Once you have informed your creditors (for example, collection agencies) that you have retained counsel, by law they can still contact you. This saves you time and the money you’d otherwise spend on headache medicine. Protection from uncertainty: There are many ins and outs of a bankruptcy petition. There are communications from the court, from the trustees who review your case and even from creditors. Protection from what you don’t know: We each do the best we can with the information we’ve got. If you file on your own, you’re functioning with a lot less information. Protection from mistakes: It’s not always so easy to fill out the paperwork correctly. This also saves you time (an attorney will do the paperwork quickly but it could take you hours).
