Brad Botes, a successful consumer bankruptcy attorney from Birmingham, Alabama has announced his intent to return to his former position on the board of directors of the National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys (NACBA). 

Originally elected to the NACBA Board in 2004, Brad relinquished his position in order to accept an appointment by the remaining board members to serve as the organization’s first full time Executive Director.  His declaration of candidacy states “NACBA’s Executive Director’s position now appears to be in able hands and I wish to return to the position I once held on the board”. 

Botes has been a member of NACBA since shortly after it was formed.  In addition to serving on the board and as executive director, he has also served as a state chair.  During his tenure on the board, NACBA’s membership increased by almost 200%.  He served during the tumultuous period leading up to and following the enactment of BACPA. Brad helped plan and participated as a speaker in the special educational programs NACBA held during 2005 to help consumer debtor attorneys adapt to the new laws provisions.

Prior to serving as NACBA’s Executive Director, Botes helped build his firm, Bond & Botes, P.C., into one of the top debtor’s practices in the country.  The firm has offices in Alabama, Florida, Tennessee and Mississippi and represents thousands of consumers annually.  Brad has lectured on various bankruptcy topics to local and national gatherings of bankruptcy attorneys, trustees and judges.

I know Brad to be a knowledgeable, motivated leader who has a keen understanding of what it takes to meet the challenges faced by consumer bankruptcy lawyers.  NACBA’s membership will be well served by returning him to the organization’s Board of Directors.
