Hi everyone:
I just returned from Seattle, Washington where I spoke on the topic: Bankruptcy Law Updates and What Paralegals Should Know About the Creditors Perspective, at the Washington State Paralegal Association CLE Conference which was held at the Seattle University Law School.

I also have provided a free download of the Conference Handout at:

(Be sure to utilize the excellent web link references on the last page).
My purpose in attending this conference was to bring more awareness to the necessity of a well-detailed bankruptcy petition as well as the virtual bankruptcy assistant (VBA) world. As most of you know, VBAs are trained professionals who can benefit attorneys and save law firms thousands of dollars per year because of their elevated bankruptcy petition skills. Increasing awareness in the importance of the bankruptcy petition is another method to furthering the awareness of the VBA. The reception was much better than I expected. (Robin Harvey even told me that the paralegals were talking about bankruptcy in the hallway after I spoke. This is a demonstration of the positive reception concerning his topic).
In the past, when I tried to provide knowledge to the paralegal groups, many of them were not impressed with the subject of bankruptcy. However, the times are changing. As I pointed out at the conference during my speech, the unemployment rate rose in 43 states last month (September 2009). This brings the overall national average to 9.8 percent which is the highest unemployment rate since the Great Depression. These statistics are phenomenal and they indicate that bankruptcy filings will only increase. At the moment there is an average of 10.58 bankruptcy filings per DAY.
If you have considered the VBA field, now is the time to learn all the facts.
I have written an excellent free ebook you can download and read immediately. This ebook, entitled: What is a VBA? contains an extensive set of questions and answers as well as additional information and web links. To download your free ebook, visit:
