FREE DEBT CONSULTATION

During your free consultation, Attorney Buckley will explain your best options and whether he believes your case will be successful. While no lawyer can guaranty an outcome in any legal matter, Attorney Buckley will offer to refund the attorney fee if your bankruptcy case is dismissed through no fault of your own. To date, he has never filed a case that has not received a discharge in bankruptcy and is careful only to accept clients he knows he can help.

CHOOSING THE BEST BANKRUPTCY LAWYER

With 5,878 attorneys in Rhode Island, how do you choose the best RI bankruptcy lawyer for your debt situation?  Do your research:

1. Is he really a bankruptcy lawyer, or just a general practitioner who “dabbles” in bankruptcy?
2. How long has he devoted his practice exclusively to Rhode Island bankruptcy law?
3. Is he respected by local bankruptcy Trustees and the RI Bankruptcy Court, or does he produce sloppy work and have to repeatedly fix mistakes?
4. Will he handle your case completely (initial interview, preparing the 55+ page petition, attending the required creditor meeting) or will your case be outsourced to secretaries, inexperienced attorneys, or “document preparers” overseas?
5. Is he running a “bankruptcy mill”, taking in more work than can be handled competently?
6. Does he have a reputation for ignoring deadlines and Orders of the Rhode Island Bankruptcy Court?
7. Can you find good reviews on-line from other bankruptcy clients who have hired him?
