What to Look for in an Orlando Bankruptcy Attorney

I made the above video because people are always asking me what I look for in cases as an Orlando bankruptcy attorney. It’s a great question, but I think that oftentimes people forget to look at the other side of that equation—what should you look for in a bankruptcy lawyer?

After all, you’re putting your financial health in this person’s hands. You want to make sure that you feel confident that they have your best interests in mind and aren’t just out to make a quick buck by convincing as many people as possible to file for chapter 7.

But how do you know if someone is really good?

Signs You’ve Got a Good Orlando Bankruptcy Attorney

There are lots of measuring sticks to use to tell whether your lawyer is good. Do they win a lot of cases? Do they promptly return your calls or emails? Do they seem knowledgeable and well-prepared?

But for bankruptcy lawyers there are other specific things that you should look for.

Everything is spelled out clearly. Bankruptcies can go from simple to complicated quickly, so it’s important to know what you’re getting for the money you’re paying. Many bankruptcy attorneys offer some kind of flat fee, but often it won’t include vital parts of the process that might crop up. Made sure you know what you’re paying for, and don’t take someone just because they have the lowest prices.

Chapter 7 bankruptcy is a significant portion of their business. Anyone can claim to be a bankruptcy expert, but where the law is concerned, practice really does make perfect. You want to be able to see that they regularly do a good number of bankruptcy cases.

They’re local. Practically any lawyer licensed to practice can handle your case, but trust me when I say that you want a true Orlando bankruptcy attorney. Why? Because every district has their own rules, and even individual trustees might require specific details not outlined in general bankruptcy law. A local bankruptcy lawyer is far more likely to be familiar with these, which will make your case go more smoothly.

They have a maximum threshold. It’s an unfortunate fact that some of my colleagues run what are known as “bankruptcy mills.” They take on as many clients as possible and use one-size-fits-all solutions so that they can burn through cases. Unfortunately, one size does not fit all. Every bankruptcy case is different, and these kinds of places can end up costing you money by not paying attention to your specific circumstances. That’s why I never take on more cases than we can handle with personal attention. For the best possible outcome, ensure that your Orlando bankruptcy attorney follows the same policy.

I had the pleasure of hiring Ms.Gastell for my divorce. I was kept informed at all times of any information relating to my case. Ms. Gastell worked deligently and was always ready to listen and help with any my concerns during a very difficult time in my life. I highly recommend TK Law PA.

My wife and I finally took the steps to start the estate planning process as we are not getting any younger and we didn't want to leave a mess for our daughter to have to clean up. We have witnessed this far too many times of the last few years, as relatives have passed away only to watch the circus play out afterward. TK Law provided a wonderful experience from start to finish. Everyone at the office that I had the pleasure of working with was extremely professional and got back to me in a timely manner with any questions that I had. My wife and I really appreciate all the hard work and are very thankful to get all our estate planning needs met. We now have the peace of mind that we have done all that we can to minimize any issues after we pass.

On August 7, 2020, I was fortunate TK Law Firm was suggested as the first option for Divorce and Family Law. I was blessed to be represented by Ms. Janelise Gastell and TK Law Firm Support Staff. Ms. Gastell has the qualities and standards of integrity, ethics and loyalty. Ms. Gastell's dedication and determination resulted in positive results. Ms. Gastell challenged me to put in the same amount of effort. The end result was the divorce being finalized on September 4, 2020. Four years later, the money spent was an outstanding investment. The financial investment was an integral part of moving forward in my life. This included my well being mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually. If potential clients are searching for excellent Divorce and Family legal representation. My recommendation would be Attorney Janelise Gastell. Thank You.

This was first experience hiring a law firm and I am very happy that I hired TK Law. My attorney Janelise and Paralegal Kayla were kind, knowledgeable and made the process easy. They were quick to respond when I needed revisions to my document and the final outcome was perfect. If I ever need legal help in the future, I will not hesitate to contact TK Law again.

The divorce process is never easy, but everyone one at TK Law made it as easy as possible. Kayla Johnson, my paralegal was always available, helpful and understanding of the situation. Attorney Janelise Gastell was also extremely helpful. She made sure all decisions were made in my best interest. My divorce seemed to take much longer than the average due to the other side, but both Ms Johnson and Attorney Gastell kept things moving as quickly as possible.
