I like your suggestion of hiring a bankruptcy expert that has the experience and could give you suggestions on how to handle financial issues. I have a cousin who's currently in a pinch after getting scammed online. He should probably reach out to one of these experts so he could stand on his feet again.

I do agree that when looking for a bankruptcy attorney, it is advisable for us to hire someone with experience. It makes sense for us to choose someone with experience as it will guarantee us that they are capable of handling our case. Since my brother is planning to apply for chapter 7 bankruptcy and looking for an employment in the future, I will definitely encourage him to hire an attorney to help with his case.
