The Bankruptcy Lawyers Blog

Start Fresh Today was founded in 2005 as the complete solution to the rigorous requirements imposed by the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act (BAPCPA).

As a site designed by technology professionals and bankruptcy attorneys for bankruptcy attorneys, we provide you access to all of the tools you need to streamline the current complex filing process. Those progressive attorneys who choose to adapt to the changing environment and have a proven system to help their clients meet current BAPCPA requirements stand to experience a windfall of increased market share.

You might have seen Start Fresh Today at a recent American Bankruptcy Institute (ABI) or National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys (NACBA) conference. If you will be attending an upcoming conference, come over and say hi. We'd love to show you how Start Fresh Today can help your practice streamline its process and save you time and money.

My colleagues expressed an interest in a resource to keep them up to date with the changing bankruptcy environment. I developed The Bankruptcy Lawyers Blog to help fellow bankruptcy attorneys navigate the new Bankruptcy Code and to attract them to robust tools we offer at StartFreshtoday.com. The blog and StartFreshToday.com are about the law change and how we all can embrace technology to survive and flourish in the new bankruptcy world.

I'll do my best to share my insights, but more importantly, I ask you to share your's. Feel free to submit your comments, questions and experiences.
