The selection of a bankruptcy lawyer may be very important to the resolution of your case. In a small state like NH it can be challenging to find a lawyer who only does one type of case. Many NH lawyers are generalists, representing several different types of clients. When seeking a bankruptcy attorney, we recommend that you try finding someone belonging to one or more of the following groups:

American Bankruptcy Institute
American College of Bankruptcy
National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys

Ask your NH Bankruptcy Lawyer if (s)he offers free consultations. Some bankruptcy attorneys do, many don't. If you think your case is complicated, or has a high dollar value, perhaps talking to two or three lawyers before selecting one would be a wise choice. You should also ask your bankruptcy attorney how many of these types of cases (s)he has handled before.

Also, keep in mind that in some cases, fees charged by NH Bankruptcy Lawyers are negotiable. Your bankruptcy attorney runs a business - it just happens to be a law office. Whatever their fee quote, feel free to make a counter offer. If done tactfully, NH Lawyers rarely object. Be careful though, the cheapest lawyer isn't always the best.

To get an idea of how fellow attorneys rate each other, consult Martindale-Hubbell and to interpret the information see their explanation page.
