Critical Considerations When Choosing a Chapter 13 Bankruptcy Attorney

July 18, 2012 //  by John Turco

Filing a Chapter 13 bankruptcy is not only important in and of itself, it also establishes a 3 to 5 year relationship with a Chapter 13 attorney and his or her office.  This  is something to seriously consider and contemplate before making a decision as to what Omaha bankruptcy attorney to work with if you need to file a Chapter 13 bankruptcy.

If you are considering filing a Chapter 13 bankruptcy, you obviously want to choose the best attorney to represent you.  You want someone who is knowledgeable, smart, careful, effective, prudent, decisive, caring and kind.   You are scared and anxious about the future and need a compassionate yet competent hand at the wheel.  What you don’t need is obvious: a lawyer who is arrogant, judgmental, ill-informed, inexperienced, uncaring, reckless and self-centered.  Another thing to really think about:  you are engaging in a 3 to 5 year relationship with this attorney (and his or her office).  Life happens and circumstances change all the time for people.  An event might change your financial situation a week after you file a Chapter 13 bankruptcy.  Is your attorney going to be available to help you make the necessary adjustments?

The purpose of this blog is to shed some light on the “real world” of Chapter 13 bankruptcy law and service in Omaha, Council Bluffs and surrounding communities.  And, to a large extent, you’ll just have to take my word that when you need help in your bankruptcy case, you will definitely want to be a client of my office.   Why?  Because we won’t abandon you and will take good care of you throughout the  time you are in bankruptcy.  This may not be the biggest thing in your mind right now, but, it will be down the road.  Just ask around.  Visit with people who may have filed bankruptcy or lawyers that know bankruptcy attorneys in Omaha.  Ask about John Turco and his law office.  Do they do a good job?  How do they treat people?  Have other clients been happy with their expertise and service?  I wholeheartedly encourage you to ask these questions and more to people you trust.

You owe it to yourself to meet with one of the attorneys at my office if you need to file a bankruptcy and especially when contemplating a Chapter 13 bankruptcy.  We won’t let you down!
