Me in TN asked:


I have a consultation with a lawyer tomorrow, over filing bankruptcy (chapter 7). What kind of questions will he ask me? Is he going to ask me about things I own (that could possibly be taken from me)? Will he ask anything about what was bought w/the credit to cause me to go in debt? I’d like to be prepared…thanks

Hi, we have bankruptcy court this Friday. Our lawyer is doing nothing to help us prepare. For one he has only talked to us 2 times, when i call to try and discuss re-affirming with creditors, he is never “available”. What are we going to be up against in court? Are we going to be ambushed by our creditors? And how long does court usually last? And do you do all the re-affrimation papers there, or do you do them with the creditors at a later date? We paid the lawyer 1500.00 to do this, and he hasnt helped us at all. At first he told us that we would have no problem with collateral on a personal loan, 3 weeks ago we were told that we either reaffirm, or loose the stuff. When i went and asked him about it, i reminded him that he told us that this wouldnt be a problem, and his comment was “Well it’s a problem now” So what do we have to look foward to, and any advise on the lawyer?
