Guidelines for Retaining a Massachusetts Bankruptcy Lawyer

1. Don't Delay

The longer you wait, the longer your creditors have to harass you and the closer you might be to property foreclosure. You could possibly face harassment, a lawsuit, or property seizure. Securing a Massachusetts bankruptcy lawyer now could help you forestall foreclosure and organize your financial portfolio to meet your debt obligations.

2. Search through Trusted Avenues

Don't leave picking your bankruptcy lawyer to chance: use one of a number of professional organizations dedicated to doing the legwork for you:

The Massachusetts State Bar

The National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys

Reputable online legal directories, like www.AllLaw.com, which can help you locate Massachusetts bankruptcy lawyers in the Worcester, Cambridge, Lowell, Springfield, Brockton, and Boston areas.

3. Prepare your Documentation

Start leafing through your filing cabinet for paperwork that can make your attorney's life easier:

Pre-foreclosure or foreclosure notices

Tax filing returns

Statements of income

Asset and liabilities forms

Budget spreadsheets or tables

Insurance forms

Correspondence from creditors

Workers compensation forms

Any other documentation that you feel is relevant to your financial history

4. Speak Up

When meeting with your Massachusetts bankruptcy lawyer remember that you are an equal part of the partnership. Raise your questions or concerns when they arise -- and watch to see that your lawyer responds to them sympathetically and with knowledge of current bankruptcy law.
