What does a bankruptcy lawyer do?
Bankruptcy and debt lawyers help individuals and businesses that can no longer keep up with what they owe. They explain the difference between Chapter 7 liquidation and a Chapter 13 repayment plan, help stop collection calls and, where the law allows, foreclosure, and guide clients through the federal bankruptcy court process.
Before you hire a bankruptcy lawyer in West Virginia
- Confirm the lawyer is licensed and in good standing with the West Virginia state bar.
- Ask how long they have handled bankruptcy matters and how often they go to court.
- Ask how fees work: hourly, flat fee or contingency, and what costs are extra.
- Ask who will handle your case day to day and how you will get updates.
- Get the fee agreement in writing before any work begins.
