Reading the roster in Santa Monica. Bankruptcy is federal, so what matters locally is the attorney's standing practice in the bankruptcy court division where your case will be filed and with its panel trustees. Ask which chapter fits your income and assets and why, what the flat fee covers, how California's two exemption schemes apply to your property, and what the timeline to discharge looks like. Be wary of non-attorney "debt relief" services; bankruptcy petition preparers are sharply restricted by 11 U.S.C. § 110.
