Continuing Legal Education

When hiring a bankruptcy attorney it is important to be sure that your attorney is competent to handle any and all unexpected events that may occur in your case.  The amount of Continuing Legal Education that your attorney attends is one important factor in determining his competence to handle your case.  Before hiring an attorney it is important to ask him what continuing legal education he engages is on how often he does it.
One excellent source of continuing legal education are the events put on by the American Bankruptcy Institute.

Second Chance Legal Services is a bankruptcy law firm located in Madison Heights, MI.  While we are located in Oakland County, we service Wayne, Oakland and Macomb County residents.  As Detroit Bankruptcy Attorneys we specialize in helping individuals escape their burden of debt in order to get a fresh start on their bright future.
Because of our small size our clients get individual attention.  You will have the same bankruptcy attorney throughout your case whether you are in a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy or a Chapter 13 Bankruptcy.  Your attorney will help guide you through the bankruptcy process in order to help you get a successful discharge of your debt.
It is important to note that Macomb County Bankruptcy Attorneys, Oakland County Bankruptcy Attorneys and Wayne County Bankruptcy Attorneys all deal with the same judges and trustees.  This is because all Michigan Bankruptcies are filed with the federal bankruptcy court in Detroit, MI.  For this reason, it is important that you choose an attorney not by location but rather by how comfortable you feel with them when you meet.  If you don’t feel comfortable with their knowledge, their experience or their demeanor you should seek out an attorney that you do feel comfortable with.
