If you are located in the US and are looking for an international bankruptcy lawyer, there are a few ways you can do that. Some of the common ways to find a lawyer include: phone book, internet, referrals from friends (these are a great way), Avvo and the National Association of Bankruptcy Attorneys.

 

The phone book will have a lot of listings for your local area, it wouldn’t hurt to contact local lawyers to see if they handle bankruptcies in other countries. Often they may specialize in another country or may know a good contact that can help you out.

 

Google search is another great resource for finding an international lawyer. If you were looking for a German Lawyer – try typing that into Google and see what comes back. There are bankrutpcy lawyer directories that are useful for quickly searching for a local bankrupty attorney, you can contact a lawyer that way and see what you can find.

 

If you have a friend that has recently used a lawyer, ask them for advice. A personal referral is a great way to get feedback on an attorney before you give them a go yourself.

 

Avvo’s mission is to help people navigate the complex and confusing legal industry. They have customer generated reviews of lawyers and a rating scale from 1-10 that is useful for evaluating a potential lawyer.

 

 It’s also a good idea to check out the NACBA and find out if your lawyer is listed as a member. The NACBA offers a complete list of all their participating members and is a great resource for finding a skilled international bankruptcy lawyer.
