FAQs – What to Look for in a Bankruptcy Attorney?
Why do I need a bankruptcy attorney?
Bankruptcy law is a complex collection of federal and state law and local rules. Our attorneys will guide you through the process, ensuring your rights and assets are protected and you achieve the best possible outcome.
What does a bankruptcy attorney do?
A bankruptcy attorney guides you through the maze of complicated state and federal laws and local court rules that apply to your situation, and which govern the discharge of your debts and the protection of your assets. We will recommend Chapter 7 or 13 bankruptcy, or none at all, based upon our expert analysis of the law and your debts, income, and assets. Our goal is always to maximize the discharge of debts and protection of assets.
Will I lose everything I own if I file for Bankruptcy?
No, Ohio has bankruptcy exemptions that protect various types and amounts of property. Our attorneys will explain how your property is protected.
Can I keep my house and car if I file for bankruptcy?
It depends on various factors, including your desire to keep or get rid of these assets, and your ability to make the payments. In most cases, our clients keep their homes and cars by reaffirming that debt or through federal and state exemptions. The discharge of credit card, medical and other unsecured debts often frees up enough cash allowing you to keep your secured debts such as your house and car.

How do Bankruptcy Attorneys Get Paid?
Like other service professionals such as doctors or dentists, bankruptcy attorneys base their fee on their experience and expertise in getting you the best possible result tailored to the specifics of your situation. Remember, you get what you pay for, and the lowest fee may not get you the best result. Don’t be penny wise and dollar foolish.
We offer a free consultation. At this consultation your attorney will quote you a fee based on your individual situation. If bankruptcy is not right for you, we will tell you. There are two fees involved in a bankruptcy filing. There is the court’s filing fee and the attorney’s fee. When it comes to attorney fees, Keegan & Co. Attorneys works on a flat fee basis in nearly all cases.
