Description

This free class covers bankruptcy, how it works, and if it makes sense for you. The class will teach you the realities and myths of bankruptcy, the differences between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcies, how to represent yourself in court, and alternatives to bankruptcy. You will also learn how to apply for a pro bono (free) attorney to file your Chapter 7 case. This class is offered both virtually and in-person at Legal Aid Center. Capacity is limited for the in-person class due to COVID-19 and masks are required. NOTE: The free Bankruptcy class offered by Legal Aid Center is not the credit counseling session that is required before you file for bankruptcy. For information on approved credit counseling agencies, please visit our Bankruptcy Links page.

Legal Aid Center of Southern Nevada is a private, non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization that ensures equal access to justice through free legal advice and representation for those who cannot afford to hire an attorney. We are the primary legal safety net that changes the lives of low-income, vulnerable people in our community every day. Since 1958, our organization has represented low-income individuals in Clark County with civil legal matters such as domestic violence, fraud against the elderly, representing youth in the child welfare system, and defending working people against scams and financial predators. We become the voice for those who cannot speak for themselves in important legal matters that affect their well-being, their future, and even their ability to survive. The cases accepted are based on merit and highest need—victims of domestic violence, children, the elderly, victims of financial predators, active military, and veterans.
