Bankruptcy laws in California vs. Florida

[Guest nolan]

Things haven't gotten much better for me lately. I am planning on moving back home to Florida to be closer to my family. At this point, I have come to terms with the fact that I’m probably going to have to file for bankruptcy.

However, after reading this article, I really want to think this through and find out how to get the best “deal” (as much of a deal as you can get from going bankrupt..).

I am planning on taking the article’s advice and consulting with my California lawyer, but thought I could try to get some other opinions first, especially since I won’t be able to consult a Florida lawyer until after I make the move.

Which state’s bankruptcy laws are more favorable, California or Florida? And if Florida, any locals know of a trustworthy Tampa Bay attorneys I can consult with?
