Chapter 7 and 13 bankruptcy applies to individuals – this is generally described as consumer bankruptcy. Chapter 11 bankruptcy applies to companies and is often referred to as commercial bankruptcy.

Although some bankruptcy lawyers are qualified to deal in both areas, there are significant differences between attorneys, the breadth of their experience, their success rates, and their level of commitment to your case. The Law Offices of Neil Crane has over 35 years of specialized experience dealing in both commercial and consumer bankruptcy.

Starting Point for Choosing a Bankruptcy Lawyer

The starting point in any internet search is which state you are in and whether you are dealing with a specialized local expert or an out-of-state company. After seeking referrals from people you know, you could start by doing a general search for say, ‘consumer bankruptcy attorneys, Connecticut.’

You can focus the search even further by keeping it limited to lawyers who specialize in only bankruptcy. Since the Bankruptcy system is based in New Haven, all the best attorneys will have at least one office in the New Haven area.

It Helps to Hire a Bankruptcy Specialist

Bankruptcy law is a highly specific area of the legal system. If you want to navigate the legal system successfully, you will need to have a specialized consumer bankruptcy lawyer on your side.
