National Association of Consumer Banrkuptcy Attorneys
The National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys (NACBA) is an organization of over 3,500 attorneys who represent Consumers and Small Business debtors solve financial problems. Attorneys who represent creditors are NOT allowed as members. The organization receives little or no outside funding other than dues and contributions of their members. Members share education, issues and ideas that can be used to help each other and help their clients. NACBA also joins in helping attorneys who are dealing with key issues before the courts and regularly file "Friend of the Court" briefs in key cases including cases in from of the U.S. Supreme Court. The attorney members also lobby for debtor friendly changes in the bankruptcy laws. NACBA, being funded by attorneys who are not getting rich on their clients, has no paid lobbyists. It is the individual attorney members that take their time and effort on behalf of debtors, sometimes lobbying for changes that help debtors by reducing the need for them to file bankruptcy. A NACBA attorney is committed to helping debtors by all means possible. A NACBA attorney is on your side.

California State Bar Certified Bankruptcy Law Specialist
I am one of only about 154 California bankruptcy attorneys CERTIFIED by the California State Bar Board of Legal Specialization as a Bankruptcy Law Specialist. A specialist must be recertified every 5 years. In addition to having to take or teach a much higher amount of ongoing bankruptcy education courses the attorney must show that they have their practice primarily in Bankruptcy law and handled a significant number of bankruptcy cases including contested matters. The State Bar also requests and obtains the opinions of Judges, Bankruptcy Trustees, the U.S. Trustee and even other attorneys in the field as to the level of skill and integrity of the attorney. Only the best in the field make the cut. Beware of attorneys that claim to "specialize" in bankruptcy law as many are NOT CERTIFIED by the State Bar as specialists. When the State Bar says that the attorney is one of the best bankruptcy attorneys out there, who is better to judge the quality of the attorney then them?
