National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys (NACBA) located in nacba.org

This is a nationwide organization committed to serving the needs of consumer bankruptcy attorneys and protecting the legal rights of consumer debtors in bankruptcy.

1. When you visit the main page of NACBA, click the “Find attorneys near you!” banner located at the right sidebar.
2. After the search page loads, type in your hometown or city and state in the search field.
3. You must choose one item under the “Location (within)” label, for example 50 miles.

There is a Shorter Method of Completing This

Let’s assume for a minute you were able to find 10-20 prospects using the above resources. You then call each one on your list. Assuming you can explain your financial problems to one lawyer in half hour, it will take you 300 mins or five hours for 10 attorneys and ten hours if you have twenty on your list! Try to imagine yourself talking for 10 straight hours.

Don’t you think it is too wearisome to do it that way? What if I tell you there is an easier method? The TRUE SECRET in finding cheap bankruptcy attorneys is to search lawyer networks. Wherein you fill out a single online form and your case is forwarded to every member on the network. Members who are interested to handle your case will reply to you or even call you. You will be in a better position to negotiate the legal fees prior to retaining the lawyer.
