Bankruptcy Law Network Chosen by the ABA as a Top 100 Legal Blog

By Bankruptcy Attorney on Dec 1, 2008 in Featured

Each year the American Bar Association publishes a list of the top 100 legal blogs. This year, the ABA has recognized this site as a one of the top 100 legal blogs - and the only legal blog dealing with bankruptcy, credit and debt issues.

So please pardon us as we take a moment - just a small one, we promise - to reflect on the hard work we’ve put into trying to make this site the most comprehensive resource for consumer bankruptcy information online. None of it would be possible without our loyal readers who turn to us for reliable information rather than the misinformation that’s often peddled online.

We’re all proud of the fact that the ABA saw fit to recognize our blog above all others out there, and look forward to continuing to make Bankruptcy Law Network even more useful in the months and years ahead.

  • Judicial Modification Key to Helping Homeowners
    Last week President Obama announced an ambitious and expensive plan to stabilize home prices and help homeowners in trouble with their home loans avoid foreclosure. The plan proposes incentives for investors and servicers alike to encourage loan modification even before homeowners default on their loans. However, one key element of ...
  • Usury and Subprime Home Loans
    In the bankruptcy practice where I work, I increasingly see clients caught in financial binds caused by usurious home loans. Oregon has an explicit exception to the Usury statutes limiting interest and fees charged on loans set forth in ORS 84.024 (4). On the other hand, there are many state and ...
  • Bankruptcy is A Christian Idea
    Bankruptcy in many ways is a Christian concept. American bankruptcy laws have Biblical roots. The seven-year waiting period between personal bankruptcies that was the law until 2005, for example, is based upon Deuteronomy 15:1-2 At the end of every seven-year period you shall have a relaxation of debts, which shall be ...

The television commercial advertising this service is really a for profit venture trying to sell you a service for ...
