There are pros and cons to either a liquidation or repayment type of bankruptcy. Without a knowledgeable attorney that can honestly help you assess the short and long term problems and benefits to each type of filing the client may be putting themselves in danger of further legal proceedings.

It is very important that you only work with a bankruptcy attorney if you are considering filing for either type of bankruptcy. The laws are constantly being amended in this highly specialized area of law and getting the wrong information from an inexperienced attorney in the area can have important future ramifications.

Get the best bankruptcy attorney that you can reasonable afford. This is not an area to try to skimp or save on the cost of legal fees. Look for someone that is experienced and has a well established name and works cases through the Bankruptcy court on a regular basis.
