You’ll be able to easily come up with a good list of candidates that are near your location when you use a free bankruptcy lawyers directory. Here are the top 3 resources that are free to use.

LexisNexis’ Martindale-Hubbell Attorney Network located in attorneys.com

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

  1. Under Step 1, key in your zip code.
  2. You need to click the [+] sign for Bankruptcy under the “All Areas of Law”. It should expand, now select “Consumer Bankruptcy” and click the “Search” button.
  3. You should have your list of consumer bankruptcy lawyers.
  4. If the list is too few, then you can use the zip codes of adjacent towns near you.

Use Google Maps located in maps.google.com

  1. Key in the search phrase “cheap bankruptcy attorneys” in the input box. Add your city, state, and zip code to make the results more accurate.
  2. Click the “Search Maps” button or press “Enter”.
  3. Google will now give you a list of lawyers that meets your search term.

Thomson Reuters’ FindLaw located in lawyers.findlaw.com

This is the online version of West Legal Directory of attorneys.

  2. Under the “Legal Issue” search box type in ‘bankruptcy’.
  3. Type in your city under the “Location” input field.

There is a Quicker Method of Getting This Done

Let’s assume for a minute 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 financial crisis to one lawyer in 30 mins, it will take you 300 minutes or 5 hours for 10 attorneys and ten hours if you have 20 on your list! Can you imagine yourself blabbing out for ten straight hours.

Don’t you think it is too wearisome to do it that way? What if I tell you there is a quickier method? The REAL SECRET in getting hold of cheap bankruptcy lawyers is to search lawyer networks. Wherein you fill out a single internet form and your case is submitted to every member on the network. Members that are interested to take your case will respond to you or even call you. You will be in a good position to negotiate the costs before you actually employ the lawyer.
