Ask About Experience

Bankruptcy offers individuals and small businesses alike an excellent opportunity for a fresh start when filing is appropriate. While individuals can file for protection under the US Bankruptcy Code without an attorney, it may be difficult to do so successfully. There are several local rules, requirements, and procedures which must be followed in order for a bankruptcy to be realized with successful results. When meeting with Erie, PA bankruptcy attorneys ask about their experience. Do they work exclusively in bankruptcy? Do they offer several types of generalized legal services? How many cases have they handled in their career?
