One of the first things I realized after my partner and I went out on our own is that most bankruptcy attorneys can provide competent representation. What most people really want is an attorney who they feel truly cares about them, and helping them make an attempt to get back on their feet. I think our profession as a whole would fare better in the eyes of the public if more attorneys, not just those practicing bankruptcy, had this view. I also agree with Steve, I wish law school had done a better job of preparing me to look at issue through the client's eyes. It would help all of us. I really like this post.

You've heard the old adage that "people don't care how much you know until they know how much you care." In my experience, this is certainly true of the vast majority of my bankruptcy clients. Dan Nunley Angel,

I recently heard a fellow bankruptcy attorney say we are counselors first, and lawyers second. I think this is true because most of the time our client's don't know the legal manuevering we are doing behind the scenes. What is generally most important to them is do they feel better after they talk to you and can they trust you. Angel M. Van Wieren www.vanwierenlaw.com Dan:

I wish all bankruptcy attorneys understood that when someone musters up the courage to finally come see you it is only 10% about the technical aspects of filling out papers. The majority of care needed has to do with helping the person through this difficult passage in their life with care, compassion, and concern. I wish this revelation was taught in law school.
