Should I Hire A Cheap Bankruptcy Attorney?

Many bankruptcy clients shop for a cheap bankruptcy attorney.  In searching for a cheap bankruptcy attorney clients will quickly find that they cannot receive a quote over the phone.  Consequently, these clients must attend a free consultation, take an hour of the attorney's time, and receive a quote at the end of the consultation. This labor-intensive process is an unfortunate necessity of shopping for cheap attorneys.

Now for the unfortunate truth about hiring a cheap Sacramento bankruptcy attorney: you get what you pay for.  At first you will be thrilled (well, mildly OK) with hiring the cheapest Sacramento bankruptcy attorney among the several you interviewed.  Shortly after that you will start wondering why you can't get the attorney on the phone.  Every time you call the attorney you speak with a secretary and leave messages on voice mail.  It seems as if the attorney just doesn't have time for you.  Your questions may get answered in time, but possibly not in a clear manner.  Furthermore, when issues arise after filing you may find yourself conducting your own legal research rather than getting clear advice from your attorney.  This may sound outrageous (and it is) but it is not unusual.

When you should hire a cheap Sacramento bankruptcy attorney.



You should hire a cheap attorney when you absolutely cannot afford between $1,500 - $2,000 and your chapter 7 bankruptcy is fairly simple.  If your chapter 7 bankruptcy case is fairly straightforward, a cheap bankruptcy attorney will likely deliver the same result as an expensive attorney.  You may not get the personal attention you want with a cheap bankruptcy attorney, but you will save money in your quest to discharge debt and receive a fresh financial start.
