5 Benefits of Working with a Bankruptcy Lawyer
                     5 Benefits of Working 
with a Bankruptcy 
Lawyer
1. Planning for Bankruptcy
● Determine whether there are other debt-relief options. It is 
important to explore whether any alternatives to bankruptcy will 
provide the debt relief you need.
● Decide which type of bankruptcy is right for you. There are two 
main types of consumer bankruptcy, and they are very different 
from one another.
2. Bankruptcy Preparation
● Bankruptcy paperwork requires highly detailed information 
regarding your debts, income, assets, and property. Even small 
mistakes can cause serious issues in your case, including delays 
or even a case dismissal. If you omit information or provide false 
information, you might even face allegations of bankruptcy fraud.
3. Representation from a Bankruptcy Lawyer 
   During the Case
● Legal representation can ensure that all testimony is accurate and 
represent you at the creditors meeting and at any necessary court 
hearings.
● A lawyer will know all the necessary requirements you must meet 
for a discharge and will protect your interests throughout the 
process.
4. Addressing Residual Financial and Legal Issues
● In some cases, creditors may disregard a debt discharge and may 
continue to attempt to collect a discharged debt or report late 
payments on your credit.
● Your lawyer will know how to petition the court for injunctive relief 
to stop this type of situation.
5. Guidance Post-Bankruptcy
● Bankruptcy lawyers have seen firsthand how cases affect filers. 
They can often advise you about the effects of bankruptcy on your 
credit, and provide suggestions for rebuilding credit in a 
responsible and successful manner.
● Their goal is to set you up for financial success and put you in the 
best possible position moving forward.
