Another good and timely post. I tell clients all the time: “Beware the cut-rate bankruptcy mills where you never see a lawyer until the meeting of creditors — and then only for about 5 minutes.”

And I’ve witnessed what you witnessed many times as well. It is astounding!

I do have a paralegal, but I use him to the do the paperwork, not the client work! Every client I have has spent at least 2-3 hours discussing their situation with me.
