Question: If I was going to file Chapter 13 in Erie County (Buffalo, NY) would it be in my best interest and most advantageous to hire an attorney who is also a trustee (in Niagara County) or would it be worse for me? Thank you.

If you're filing for bankruptcy, it's most important to hire a lawyer with whom you feel comfortable and who has a level of experience that inspires trust. That may be someone who also is a trustee, or perhaps not. That choice is yours and yours alone.
I'm a consumer protection lawyer who helps people with their bill problems. The solutions I offer depend on your individual situation rather than being "one size fits all." In trouble? It's time we talked. 
I’ve been practicing bankruptcy law in New York for over 30 years. I will recommend bankruptcy only if it's right for you - not just because it happens to be the field of law in which I practice.
My professional background includes bankruptcy real estate and mortgage issues. My job is to help you get the solution that works best for you. This is more than your finances; it's your life and your future.
