The Outcome

Recently, there have been some rather high profile bankruptcy cases in the news.  This has spurred several articles regarding the fees bankruptcy attorneys are, so called, "demanding".  To be sure the fees vary throughout the country.  Obviously and oakland bankruptcy will be considerably lower cost than perhaps one in NYC.  This is also assuming that each bankruptcy is of the same complexity.  All lin all, there are many things to consider when you are shocked by the fees of a bankruptcy attorney.

First, consider that lawyers, in general are paid an astonishing hourly rate, but so do doctors, and other professions requiring such an extensive education.  And would you not want... in both areas... an educated and skilled professional?  And is it not true that an oncologist would warrant a higher fee than an family practice physician?

Some naively believe they could file the bankruptcy themselves... that it is so simple.  Filing for bankruptcy requires an immense skill set.  A bankruptcy lawyer has to know both litigation and transactional skills, besides the obvious need to know bankrupty law inside and out.  There is state law, federal bankruptcy law which makes this field a highly technical practice.

If you had cancer, would you go to a family doctor?  And do we see articles implying that the oncologist is feeding off of a persons misfortune in contracting cancer?  Filing for bankruptcy, if necessary, needs to be handle correctly.  You already will suffer consequences because of having to file in the first place.

If you need to file for bankruptcy, you want it done right.  After going through all that is necessary and suffering the stigma and negative hits to your credit, at least a lawyer will make sure that it is done successfully.  Much like the loss of strength, loss of health, loss of hair will be hard for the cancer patient... but worth it with a successful outcome
