New bankruptcy lawyers contact me on a regular basis asking where to find information online about how to practice bankruptcy law. I usually throw out a list but I thought it would be more helpful to put it in one place.
Here, then, is my “must read” list of online resources for consumer bankruptcy law and information. They are in no particular order, so you want to subscribe to all of them in your favorite RSS reader:
- Bankruptcy Law Network: Over 4,000 blog posts about consumer bankruptcy law, updated daily. I’m prejudiced because I’m a co-founder and past President of BLN. But it rocks.

If you have doubt regarding which attorney to choose, you may take the suggestion of other attorneys to find the right bankruptcy attorney for you. Even a personal attorney may suggest someone who is skilled and experienced in the field of bankruptcy law. You can also visit bankruptcy courts if you get time. This will help you to understand how the process of bankruptcy functions, and will also give you a detail understanding of the type of person you must employ to fight for your case.
