Thanks for taking the time to set up this website. I’ll post links to it on the listserves I’m on. One of the reasons I’ve enjoyed bankruptcy work so much is that the attorneys help each other.

I do free consultations too but not only to get a better understanding of the clients situation and make sure it is a case I’m willing and capable of handling but to see how the client and I get along personality wise. Taking an hour at the beginning to talk and get to know each other lets your client feel more comfortable with the hard advice you may need to give later. I’ve had to decline several cases because I felt bankruptcy wasn’t the best option but those clients appreciated that honesty enough to refer friends and family to me later.
