Who are the Parties in a Florida Bankruptcy?
Many people are under the misconception that bankruptcy attorneys work for the state and/or local government. The standing Trustees are appointed and work for the government. They usually contract out services to other attorneys to help them with hearings and the gathering of data.
However, these attorneys are not government employees. Bankruptcy trustees are representatives of debtor creditors. Most debtor attorneys work in the private sector unless they are employed by the state for legal aid purposes. Debtor attorneys should be keeping the best interests of the debtor(s) in mind at all times.
Debtor attorneys should help te debtor protect assets, provide sound legal advice about the bankruptcy process and the dischargeability of all types of debts.
