Filing for bankruptcy entails a complex legal process that can best be handled by a qualified debt relief lawyer. Attorney Robert A. Schwartz in Rochester, NY, has been providing bankruptcy assistance and legal services for more than 30 years. Here, he shares four things a good bankruptcy lawyer should do so you know what to expect when you start looking for an attorney to represent your case:

• Legal Advice: First and foremost, your bankruptcy lawyer provides you with solid legal counsel. He or she should inform you of the bankruptcy process, the type of bankruptcy filing that is best suited for your situation and what the risks and benefits are.
• Documents: Bankruptcy involves a lot of paperwork, and these documents need to be completed in accordance with the law and filed in a timely manner. At this point, your attorney will ask you to provide evidence of your income, assets, credit card debt, and other outstanding balances. Attorney Schwartz will work with you to ensure he has all the necessary information to prepare your paperwork accurately and have it filed with the courts within the stated timeframe.

• Updates On Your Case: Your bankruptcy lawyer should keep you apprised of your case as it develops. Attorney Schwartz will let you know if the courts require any further paperwork, where your case is at in the bankruptcy process, and when your court date is scheduled.
• Representation: Every bankruptcy case has a hearing. Attorney Schwartz serves as your legal representative throughout this hearing, which legally establishes your bankruptcy filing, confirms that you understand the advantages and disadvantages of filing, and ensures that you want to move forward.
