Communicating with your Sacramento bankruptcy attorney is essential to the bankruptcy process. Without frequent and effective communication your bankruptcy petition and supporting documents may not be accurate. The bankruptcy petition and supporting documents will reflect your current and past financial status, assets, and transaction history. Your Sacramento bankruptcy attorney will only have a few meetings in which to gather this information and report it on the bankruptcy documents. In practice, your Sacramento bankruptcy attorney should contact you several times throughout the bankruptcy process to clarify and verify information. Therefore, if you have poor communication with your bankruptcy attorney your documents may lack the clarified and verified information that comes with frequent and effective attorney-client communication.
Bankruptcy poses some unique challenges to effective Sacramento bankruptcy attorney communication. Many bankruptcy clients take measures to avoid collection calls by screening communication mediums. The obvious risk is Sacramento bankruptcy attorneys like many creditors will have difficulty reaching their clients. In light of this risk Sacramento bankruptcy attorneys and clients are well advised to establish secondary forms of communication from the outset of representation. At a minimum the Sacramento bankruptcy attorney and client should exchange email addresses and commit to checking these email accounts several times a day. By utilizing email the bankruptcy attorney and client can schedule phone consults or clarify information.
