    Wasnt give much info at 1st attny consult

    My husband and i went to consult an atty last wednesday and im not sure if he is the one but my husband liked him. All he did was tell us the differance between ch 7 and ch 13 (which i new already) he said we qualify for ch7..(we are in alabama, family of 5, $45,513 income a year before deductions, and supposed to get child support $6200 per year but havnt seen it in ALONG time and attny didnt ask about it). My feeling is he wasnt much help. he just said dont pay any bills that we arent keeping ( not keeping a house and 1 car)and that all fees combined it would cost a total of $1330 to file. And to pay it before he would file.
    We have a car that is 2 months behind and i am scared someone will show up to repo it in the middle of the night and the insurance is due, i can pay the ins. but it will be close. Should we go ahead and give the car back so as not to have to worry about that ins. payment and repo man?
    Do you think the attny. should have talked with us more or is the lack of helpful info given to us the norm at free attny. consults?
    He knows that my husband just changed jobs but he didnt say if we should wait to file until old income drops off, just after we pay his fees to bring in at least 2 current pay stubs and 2 years of tax records.

    I would consult a couple more, just to be sure. This first one may be fine, but why take the chance?

    Your hubby may come up with more specific questions as well, and it sounds like you already have. Another meeting will give you a chance to ask them, so nothing lost.


    Good luck!

      Our Attorney did about the same thing your Attorney did. However, we had researched his background and he is a Bankruptcy Attorney only and we live in a small town. He told us if we paid him $300 we could start giving his name to our Creditors.

      I found out more info on this Forum and then made a list of questions and set up another appt. with him (included in his price). He answered all of my questions and now, we email each other.

      If you don't feel comfortable with this Attorney, Yes, set up some other Free Consultations, but go in Armed with questions LOL!

      Good Luck
