Every now and then, someone asks me, “why would you want to be a Los Angeles bankruptcy lawyer?” I mean, all of my clients don’t have a lot of money, they have real problems and need help.
Actually, that’s the reason: people need help. It’s nice to make a difference in people’s lives.
Also, to be a bankruptcy lawyer means that you really have to know about other areas of law that crossover. It’s not unusual to have to unravel issues real property, wills/trusts and estate planning, and just this morning, there’s a very basic contract law dispute that came up. And this doesn’t even mention the community property, since a lot of bankruptcy cases coincide with a separation or divorce.
So, the practice of being a bankruptcy attorney is never boring or dull, as you get the “I’m getting a divorce, but we transferred the house to someone and used my uncle’s inheritance to put a down payment on a new house but we never finalized the offer” situations. Discuss.
And it’s really neat to help people.
