The Proper Role of Your Virtual Bankruptcy Assistant

Written by Vikki Watanabe Wednesday, 08 June 2011 07:43

Virtual Bankruptcy Assistants have been around for awhile. Some, before the bankruptcy law changed in 2005, others, at the time the law changed due to the high volume of cases being filed before and after the law changed.

Were you aware there is a proper role for the Virtual Bankruptcy Assistant?

Well, there is.  Some attorneys (not to mention a few VBA’s) believe a Virtual Bankruptcy Assistant can train an attorney in the practice of bankruptcy.  Because of this misconception and other reasons, I feel it is important to discuss the proper role of your Virtual Bankruptcy Assistant.

If a Virtual Bankruptcy Assistant offers to train you, the attorney; immediately run in the opposite direction. VBA’s cannot and should not train attorneys. This is improper and dangerous. When it comes to your bankruptcy practice and your license, do not cut corners. Cathy Moran, Esq. offers excellent training for attorneys and is the only source attorneys should be using. http://www.bankruptcymastery.com

Here is an article shared by Dennis Kaczor on his experience at the NACBA Convention.

My name is Dennis Kaczor and I represent one half of Magden Associates. Maria Griffin is the owner and other half of our business.

I wanted to write this article on being an Exhibitor at the NACBA Convention and representing not only the members of NSVBA, but also the NSVBA organization. I had a chance to speak to Vikki one-on-one and I came to understand why I am still a member of NSVBA. Her commitment and her devotion to the organization is to be admired. The work she puts into NSVBA is one thousand percent. I had never been an Exhibitor and I thought, “I can do this standing on my head.” After all, what is the big deal? What is there to standing and talking to attorneys?

Well, this guy was in for a big surprise. So, any members who, in the future want to be an Exhibitor should read the following and take heed.
