Nolo's Lawyer Blog

This year proved to be the largest NACBA show ever with more than 3,000 bankruptcy attorneys in attendance for CLE's, seminars, networking and more in downtown San Francisco.

Many of our Lawyer Directory team came out to distribute Nolo's popular bankruptcy books to qualified attorneys across the country.

Only a couple of months old, our newest title, Bankruptcy for Small Business Owners, was a big hit. Co-author Steve Elias was on-hand Saturday and Sunday to answer questions and sign copies of his books.

We also debuted another  title - The Judge Who Hated Red Nail Polish - humorous stories from the courtroom and beyond which also went over well with the attorneys in attendance.

Tom Foley, Nolo's Lawyer Directory NACBA specialist says, "We always enjoy meeting NACBA members from all over the country.  It was great to have them visit us on our home turf."

As a thank you to our Lawyer Directory members, we treated a group of NACBA attendees to a sunset Bay cruise aboard the Adventure Cat II out of Fisherman's Wharf. Check out Tom Foley's pics here.

NACBA 2010 - San Francisco

This year's annual NACBA -- The National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys -- meeting will be held in San Francisco starting on April 28, 2010. Nolo will be out in force for the show and will also be taking a small group of Nolo-NACBA member attorneys out to sea on a sunset bay cruise aboard "Adventure Cat 2",  a luxurious 65-foot catamaran.
NACBA bankruptcy attorneys attending the San Francisco meeting are invited to join Nolo, Captain Hans and his crew aboard the beautiful Adventure Cat for this hour-and-a-half long sunset cruise.  Our cruise will take us around Alcatraz and under the Golden Gate bridge (check out this cool video)!

We will be departing from Fisherman's wharf at 6:30 p.m. sharp on Saturday, May 1, 2010.

There is no cost for qualified attorneys to participate, but space is limited so sign-up today by calling 1-877-NOLO-LAW or email Tom Foley directly at tfoley@nolo.com.

While we enjoyed speaking with all of the NACBA attorneys that stopped by Nolo's booth, here are just a few of the things that some of our member attorneys had to say.

"We don't track our advertising too closely but I'd say we've received at least 20-30 clients from Nolo over this past year. Our Nolo advertising paid for itself within the first few months" Holley & Peter Bricks, Atlanta - Georgia








"It was an honor to meet your colleagues. I did not expect to meet one of the author/editors of your Chapter 7 book, which I use on a regular basis.
 
I have a great deal of respect for Nolo, not just for the quality products, but for the ultimate goal that I have seen Nolo carry through the years of educating the public about the otherwise intimidating legal process. I try to serve this goal as well with my clients on an individual basis.  I consider it an honor to have my firm associated with Nolo." Kurt W. Wolfgang - La Plata, Maryland

"I've had so many phone calls and I haven't even completed my Nolo profile!" Selwyn Whitehead - Oakland, California

(Since then, Selwyn has completed a fantastic profile!)
