There are honest lawyers out there but they are by far the minority in the profession, so you have to scout around and if you have cash to pay then take your time and don't by shy about being a jerk and walking out of a lawyers office, because most of them are con artists and they themselves know this fact.

It is best if you hire a lawyer from the state that you are going through your bankruptcy in, because they will be familiar with the laws of that state. Your lawyer should be happy to present you with regular bills with some type of notation as to what the hours you are being charged for were spent doing. Even a sentence or two world be fine as long as it explains briefly what you are being charged for.

Don't let your lawyer build up one big bill that he or she is going to present you with in the end or you you will get the screwing of your life.
