About this event

This 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.

The class is offered both in-person at Legal Aid Center and online through Zoom (be sure to check the bottom of your emails from Eventbrite for the online meeting link). The classes on May 3 and 10, 2024, will be available online only.

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.

In addition to this class, Legal Aid Center also offers 15-minute phone consultations through our Debt Collection Ask-A-Lawyer program as well as separate in-person/online classes about debt collection and payday/title loans. To learn more about other free English and Spanish classes about divorce, custody, tenants' rights, small claims, and other topics, visit www.lacsn.org/classes.

Organized by

Legal Aid Center of Southern Nevada

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.
