Q: I need a very affordable bankruptcy attorney. Also, an attorney to help with a falsely accused car accident.
I’m hoping to do chapter 7 bankruptcy.
As for the accident it was the other person at fault. He rear ended me drunk and we both file a accident report. I sent all pictures to my insurance and somehow I am at fault.

A:
Finding an affordable bankruptcy attorney for a Chapter 7 filing can be crucial in efficiently managing your financial situation. You may want to consider reaching out to local legal aid organizations as they often provide free or low-cost services. Additionally, contacting your state's bar association can help you find attorneys who offer pro bono services or payment plans that align with your financial capabilities.
Regarding the car accident, since you were wrongly deemed at fault, it's important to contest this decision to protect your rights and potentially avoid increased insurance premiums. Gathering detailed evidence from the accident scene, including photographs, the accident report, and witness statements, can strengthen your case. Consulting with an attorney experienced in traffic accidents can help you navigate this process. They can also represent you in discussions with insurance companies and, if necessary, in court.
You might also consider consulting different attorneys for each legal matter, as they may have more experience in specific areas of law. Many attorneys offer free initial consultations, which can help you understand your options without a financial commitment. During these consultations, clearly explain your situation and the outcomes you seek, allowing the attorney to provide the most relevant advice and assistance.
A: You could search online or check with local and state bar associations for attorneys. There is a feature above, "Find a Lawyer," which lists attorneys by region and area of practice. Despite the false accusations, from your description, it doesn't sound like you should have too much to worry about in the accident. Liability sounds like a no-brainer in your favor. Unless you slammed on your brakes in the middle of an expressway, with your photos, you should be cleared of liability. Hopefully your consult with an Oregon attorney will confirm this. If you are not contemplating a claim on your own end, your insurance carrier's attorney should be able to handle your defense, including any false accusations. Good luck
