No — they are separate types of attorneys who handle different parts of financial and property law.

  • Bankruptcy attorneys help clients file for bankruptcy in federal bankruptcy court.
  • Foreclosure defense attorneys handle foreclosure cases in state civil court, focusing on defending against lenders trying to repossess property.
