Bankruptcy Lawyer

Bankruptcy lawyers specialize in practicing before the U.S. Bankruptcy Court. Bankruptcy cases are brought exclusively in the federal court system, not in the state courts. Because federal procedures are more complicated than state court procedures a personal bankruptcy lawyer should be consulted more so than a state civil practitioner. The U.S. Bankruptcy Court is a division of every U.S. District Court. There is at least one U.S. Bankruptcy Court in every state.
