can you hire a lawyer in another state for bankruptcy?
I am in another state but I need to file for bankruptcy because my house’s sale date is only days away.
Is it okay to hire a lawyer in Hawaii where I am currently at? or do I have to hire a lawyer who is in California?

Thanks for the answer, but does that mean that I can’t hire a lawyer at Hawaii because my property is in California?
my credit was stolen about five years ago, i was in hawaii with my husband who was in the army at the time, but my credit says i bought a car in Oh and a house in WV, the thing is my parents stole my credit. i can’t press charges against them, even though my husband wanted nothing more than for me to do that. they also got several credit cards in my name. basically my credit is shot. i refused to press charges on them because they are my parents, but w/o pressing charges i am responsible to pay back the debt, it’s been 5 years and the debt just keeps adding up, we’ve already paid several thousands of dollars to try and restore my credit. i was estranged from my parents for 8 years and we just started building a relationship before all this happened. is it wrong to file bankruptcy to get rid of the debt, my credit is shot, i still owe about 20,000 that i know of, nothing me and my husband own is in my name, but with a new baby and another child in the house and a car payment, we can’t afford to keep paying on stuff we didn’t even get. is it wrong to file bankruptcy in this case? or to press charges against your parents when they do that? they admitted it when they got caught, but never even apologized to me. what do you think? and which bankruptcy should i file? 7 or 13 thank you
my parents already made it clear they won’t pay any of it back. they said we should ignore the bills. we can’t do that. i’m just afraid of how it will look to my children, if i put their grandparents in prison, especially when they are older. and isn’t it mean to put your parents in jail, though they did ruin my credit, and our lives. we have had to cut back on so much stuff because we’re paying off their bills. so bankrubtcy is not an option, will my kids hate me later for putting my parents in jail?
