Should I take a lawyers advice on bankruptcy? I have a lot of debt (over $70,000) and I am no longer able to pay on it. I believe in paying my debts and would like to pay eventually. I sent an email to one of those lawyers that have shows on the radio asking for advice. They replied saying I should come in for a consultation which would include looking at bankruptcy. Do you think they are looking after their own interests or mine? Would it be better to file bankruptcy than to be harassed by creditors?

Legally, do lawyers have to be paid upfront before filing a bankruptcy case? A close relative is filing for bankruptcy and has asked me to wire him $3500 to pay his lawyer. I'd rather write a check or wire it through my bank (which usually takes 2-3 business days) and do not want to pay HUGE western union fees to wire him the money. According to the lawyer, he can not legally file the bankruptcy case until the money is in the lawyer's escrow account. The bankruptcy case must be filed no later than tomorrow. Case is being filed in Hawaii, if it matters. Smells like a scam, but I guess it's possible. I'd like to know for sure before I pay a dime. Thanks in advance! eidted to add: I understand that it's in a lawyer's best interest to collect the money in advance (I'd do the same). My problem with the situation is that the lawyer told my relative that HE CAN"T LEGALLY begin the bankruptcy proceedings until the money is in his account. It's one thing to make that as a rule in your business practice. It's different to claim that it's a legally mandated rule.

What do you think of my bankruptcy lawyer? I am being charged a $1500 retainer. I had to sign something that said I would pay any cost over $1500. The paper work I signed says the rate is $150 per hour. I am worried about having to pay more than $1500. That amount given the lawyer's rate is 10 hours worth of his time. Do you think a simple bankruptcy (credit cards only) will take more than 10 hours? I live in Michigan.
