Terms of Service

Last updated: April 1, 2025

Please read these Terms of Service ("Terms") carefully before using https://www.bankruptcylawyersin.com operated by National Bankruptcy Advocates ("we," "us," or "our"). By accessing or using the Site, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Site.

1. Description of Service

National Bankruptcy Advocates is an online directory and lead-generation platform that connects consumers seeking bankruptcy legal assistance with licensed bankruptcy attorneys. We are not a law firm, do not provide legal advice, and do not represent any party in any legal matter. Attorneys listed on the Site are independent legal professionals who are solely responsible for the legal services they provide.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years of age to use this Site. By using the Site, you represent and warrant that you meet this requirement. If you are using the Site on behalf of a law firm or other organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity to these Terms.

3. Consumer Use — Lead Inquiry Submissions

When you submit a lead inquiry form on the Site, you acknowledge and agree that:

  • Your contact information and case details will be shared with one or more licensed bankruptcy attorneys on our platform;
  • Submitting an inquiry does not create an attorney-client relationship;
  • Attorneys may contact you by phone, email, or text message in response to your inquiry;
  • We do not guarantee that any attorney will accept your case or respond to your inquiry;
  • You are not obligated to retain any attorney who contacts you;
  • You will not submit false, misleading, or fraudulent information.

4. Attorney Use — Accounts and Lead Credits

Account Registration

Attorneys who wish to receive leads must register for an account and provide accurate professional information, including their bar number and state of licensure. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account.

Lead Credits and Subscriptions

Leads are delivered based on purchased credit packages or active subscription plans. Credits are non-refundable once a lead has been delivered and viewed. Subscription fees are billed on a recurring basis and may be cancelled at any time; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period.

Lead Quality and Disputes

We make reasonable efforts to deliver qualified leads but do not guarantee case conversion rates, lead exclusivity (unless an exclusive package is purchased), or the accuracy of consumer-provided information. Lead credit disputes must be submitted within 7 days of delivery.

Attorney Conduct

Attorneys agree to: (a) maintain an active, valid law license in the state(s) where they practice; (b) comply with all applicable rules of professional conduct; (c) not use consumer information for any purpose other than evaluating and potentially representing the consumer; and (d) not resell, share, or transfer leads to third parties.

5. Payments and Billing

All payments are processed through Stripe. By providing payment information, you authorize us to charge the applicable fees to your payment method. All fees are stated in U.S. dollars. We reserve the right to modify pricing with 30 days' notice. Refunds are issued at our sole discretion and only in cases of documented platform error.

6. Intellectual Property

All content on the Site — including text, graphics, logos, attorney directory data, and software — is owned by or licensed to National Bankruptcy Advocates and is protected by U.S. and international copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, or create derivative works without our express written permission.

Attorney profile information submitted by attorneys remains their property; by submitting it, you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to display and distribute it on the Site and in related marketing materials.

7. Prohibited Conduct

You agree not to:

  • Use the Site for any unlawful purpose or in violation of these Terms;
  • Submit false, misleading, or fraudulent information;
  • Scrape, crawl, or systematically extract data from the Site without written permission;
  • Interfere with or disrupt the Site's infrastructure or security;
  • Impersonate any person or entity, including any attorney or National Bankruptcy Advocates employee;
  • Use the Site to spam, harass, or contact consumers outside the scope of lead follow-up;
  • Circumvent any access controls or attempt to gain unauthorized access to any portion of the Site.
