Need a good bankruptcy solicitor

Hi

Can anyone recommend a knowledgeable and professional bankruptcy solicitor?

Me preference would be either:

1. If you have actually used them yourself

OR

2. Have been recommended one by someone you trust 100%.

Any feedback much appreciated.

Thanks

    What issues exactly do you need advice on ?

    As a solicitor is expensive and not really necessary unless you have complex issues to be addressed.

    But could you not run up a huge bill and then when services have been used...simply declare bankruptcy.:D

    Joking a side..when i went bankrupt the advice here was plenty good enough and that with quite a messy situation we were in back then.

    OP theirs some very clever and well versed people on here who will freely offer there help...try here first as you might be pleasantly surprised.:T
