Member Directory. Members can also be listed in the national NACBA directory, sorted by city and state, complete with links to member web sites. This site is open to the public and contains information about each firm, as well as a photograph of the firm principal, if desired. Consumers who are searching the Web for a consumer bankruptcy attorney should find this an easy way to locate an attorney near their home or business.

Professional Information. The members only section of the NACBA website contains a wealth of information that supports bankruptcy practice, including a document resource center where NACBA members have posted pleadings, sample letters, forms and articles that will support and improve your bankruptcy practice.

Discounts. Members enjoy a discounted rate for the NACBA Annual Convention and Educational Conference. This conference is held in the Spring of each year and features over 13 hours of Continuing Legal Education on topics solely devoted to consumer bankruptcy law. The Annual Convention typically includes sessions on recent developments in the law, ethics, tax and law office management and also addresses the cutting edge issues of the day, ranging from credit reporting and scoring to attacking mortgage servicing claims.

Legislative and Judicial Advocacy<. NACBA members enjoy the benefit of being a part of the only national organization for consumer bankruptcy attorneys that advocates for consumer debtors and their attorney counsel in Congress. NACBA members testify before Congressional committees as well as provide technical assistance to members of Congress on consumer bankruptcy issues. NACBA also advocates for the consumer debtor bar and our clients in a variety of other forums or groups, such as the Bankruptcy Rules Advisory Committee of the Federal Courts, the Executive Office of the United States Trustee, the National Association of Chapter Thirteen Trustees and the National Association of Bankruptcy Trustees.
