• National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys: Perhaps the best online resource for bankruptcy lawyer listings is the NACBA website. This association is exclusively for lawyers who practice Chapter 7 and 13 bankruptcy law. Do your own research. Make your pick, but good Bankruptcy lawyers have numerous associations and are usually NACBA members.
• National Association of Consumer Advocates: NACA is a trade association of lawyers who practice consumer law, many of whom also practice bankruptcy law.
• Online Referral Services: There are a number of online paid legal referral services that make recommendations for bankruptcy attorneys. These are referral services, not bankruptcy experts. Referral services are not based on legal knowledge but instead are leads sold to attorneys with no guarantee for you.
• The Bankruptcy Court: While they can’t pick your attorney, they can give you a list of three or four top practitioners in your immediate area.

Bankruptcy Mills vs. Solo/Small Firm?

A bankruptcy mill is a legal office that relies on high amounts of national advertising and a national internet presence, with clerical workers and a few attorneys who may stand in and cover your case in a local jurisdiction like Connecticut.

You will spend little or no time with “your” lawyer and may never meet with anyone until you appear and they locate you at a First Meeting of Creditors. This is not the proper approach to expert bankruptcy representation.
