BANKRUPTCY ATTORNEY SERVICES

The Bankruptcy Code exists, in part, to serve those who need a fresh financial start. Unfortunately, Myths About Bankruptcy, the costs and consequences of filing, keep many people from considering what may be their best way to attain Relief From Debt Collectors and the weight of excessive financial debt.

In order to legally qualify to practice bankruptcy law, an attorney must be admitted in the federal bankruptcy court or district court (depending on local practice) of the state where the bankruptcy case is filed (most of the time this is where the person filing lives.) However, in order to effectively practice bankruptcy law, much more is required. Bankruptcy practice is completely different than any other area of legal practice. It is largely governed by the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rules of Procedure. In most cases, the amount you owe and how you acquired your debt is insignificant. What you own, the amount of your income, and how and when you transferred money or property before filing are, however, significant issues. Thus, the responsibility for a debt or obligation, a concept that is at the heart of civil law and legal training, is largely without significance in the bankruptcy realm. Instead new rules come into play and exemptions, preferences, and priority of debt take on major significance.

What’s more, bankruptcy law is constantly evolving. Within the last few years the Bankruptcy Code was dramatically altered. Rules applying to Bankruptcy have been amended numerous times since then. Court cases are constantly decided which make even more changes to this body of law. Any attorney practicing bankruptcy law must be able to devote the time and attention necessary to stay abreast of these changes.
