Re: Looking for law firm
The issue you are confronting is a very common one.
There is no reason why the firm from which the
judge was appointed can't represent you, unless
the case would possibly involve a hearing in
front of their former partner. Bankruptcies are in
federal court, while your former lawyer was
very likely appointed to a state court. He would
therefore have nothing to do with a chapter
7 bankruptcy. If anything, the fact that a
judge was drawn from it would tend to indicate
that this is a reputable firm.
