In theory, all lawyers are exceptionally qualified to offer guidance,
support and assistance when confronting legal difficulties. State bar
rules require a thorough written examination of all applicants before
receiving a license to practice. In addition, for bankruptcy help to
remain efficacious and bolster claims for relief, federal courts require
all lawyers to qualify under District Local Federal Rules. As a
condition of admission to the federal bar, three colleagues (admitted to
federal district practice) must recommend applicants and provide auxiliary
information regarding fitness to practice law.
In practice, only a small minority of licensed attorneys specialize
in consumer debt relief cases, hold a federal district license, and
receive board certification as consumer law specialists. These somewhat
peerless lawyers are well known to federal judges because of their
typically active dockets. These lawyers prize their reputations for
dependability, and dedicate the majority of their practices to assisting
and accommodating the special needs of individuals. As a rarefied group,
the most effective bankruptcy help must include the present ability to
influence the outcome of disputed legal issues presented to judges.
Locating Affordable Bankruptcy Help
State bar and local associations provide free lawyer referral
programs, including bankruptcy help directories subdivided by area of
legal specialization. Any person may call the state bar and inquire
about board certification and disciplinary records. State bars provide
attorney descriptions, public records, and contact information.
