You’ll be able to easily come up with a good list of prospects that are near your area if you use a bankruptcy lawyer directory. Here are the TOP 3 resources that are free to use.

LexisNexis’ Martindale-Hubbell Lawyer Network located in lawyers.com

This is a version of Martindale-Hubbell’s comprehensive lawyer directory from LexisNexis.

Thomson Reuters’ FindLaw located in lawyers.findlaw.com

There’s an Easier Way of Getting This Done

Let us assume for a moment you were able to find 10-20 candidates using the above resources. You then phone each one on your list. Assuming you can discuss your money troubles to one attorney in 30 mins, it will take you 300 minutes or 5 hours for 10 lawyers and 10 hours if you have twenty on your list! Try to imagine yourself blabbing out for 10 straight hours.

Don’t you think it is too tedious to do it that way? What if I tell you there is an easier way? The REAL SECRET in getting hold of cheap bankruptcy attorneys is to use lawyer networks. Wherein you use a single online form and your case is submitted to each member on the network. Those who are interested to handle your case will reply to you or even call you. You will be in a good position to negotiate the costs prior to hiring the lawyer.
