How USBankruptcyHelp.com is Funded
What This Website Is
USBankruptcyHelp.com is an educational website about U.S. bankruptcy. We publish plain-English information to help you understand common bankruptcy topics and prepare for a consultation with a lawyer.
We are not a law firm. We do not provide legal advice or legal representation. Using this site does not create an attorney-client relationship.
Bankruptcy rules and outcomes can vary based on your situation, your state, and your local court. For legal guidance about your specific circumstances, you should speak with a qualified bankruptcy attorney.
How We Make Money
Running and maintaining an educational website has costs (research, writing, editing, website hosting, and support). To help cover those costs, we may receive compensation when a user submits a request to be connected with an attorney.
This means some parts of the site involve advertising or lead generation. We aim to keep a clear separation between:
- Educational content (articles and guides meant to inform), and
- Connection requests (forms you can use if you want to hear from an attorney).
What Happens When You Submit a Request
If you choose to submit a request to connect with a bankruptcy attorney:
- You fill out a form with information you choose to provide (for example, contact details and basic information about your situation).
- Your information may be shared with independent bankruptcy attorneys who may contact you.
- An attorney may reach out by phone, email, or text to discuss your situation and whether they can help.
You are not required to submit a request to read our educational content.
Attorney Eligibility Criteria
We apply baseline eligibility criteria before routing connection requests. For example, we may require attorneys to confirm that they have at least three years of bankruptcy practice experience and we may review publicly available disciplinary records for certain serious professional discipline. These checks are limited and are intended to establish baseline eligibility only.
These criteria are limited and do not evaluate overall attorney quality. We do not provide endorsements and we do not guarantee legal advice, fees, or outcomes.
Attorney Independence and No Guarantees
Attorneys who receive requests from this site are independent. They are not employees or agents of USBankruptcyHelp.com.
We do not control attorney advice, fees, or outcomes. No legal results are guaranteed. Any legal information you receive from an attorney—and any decisions you make—are between you and that attorney.
Also, using this site does not create an attorney-client relationship. An attorney-client relationship typically begins only after you and a lawyer both agree to work together (often in writing).
Editorial Independence
Our goal is to publish clear, helpful educational content. Compensation related to connection requests is separate from our editorial content.
We do not choose bankruptcy for you and do not claim that it's good for everyone. We do not publish content that promises results, and we do not claim that bankruptcy is “right” for everyone. Bankruptcy is a serious legal process, and the right approach depends on your specific facts and local rules. See our editorial policy for more information.
Privacy and Data Use
We take privacy seriously and try to use your information only for purposes you would reasonably expect—such as responding to your request and helping connect you with independent bankruptcy attorneys.
If you submit a request:
- The information you provide may be used to process your request and route it to one or more independent attorneys.
- Your information may be shared with independent bankruptcy attorneys who may contact you.
For details about what we collect, how we use it, and the choices you may have, please review our Privacy Policy.

A quick note to close
We know bankruptcy research can feel overwhelming. Our goal is to be clear about how this site works, how we’re funded, and what happens if you request to speak with an attorney. You’re in control: you can read the educational content without submitting anything, and you can decide whether or not to speak with a lawyer.
