Message about Attorney Fee Study

Message forwarded by Mr. Joseph Shulter:


Hope you are all fine and prospering.

Please be aware of Survey website www.AttorneyFeeStudy.com.

Free copy of the most recent published Consumer Law Survey Report (578 pages) and/or Consumer Bankruptcy Law Survey Report (279 pages).

This is the 21st year of doing the survey work and it has been used by state and federal Courts and government agencies nationwide in awarding more than thirty million dollars of attorney fees in consumer law cases and disputes all over the country. The published Reports contain detailed city and state law practice data, but there still has never been any charge for the Reports that are generously posted online with NACA, NACBA, NCLC, and on the survey web site.

As always, the survey does not obtain any personal information or source at all, there is no charge to participate and no charge for obtaining the published survey results.

Thanks in advance, stay safe, and best regards,

It could still be catered and a fun event, and that will  be discussed later.

Let this be our Thanks to the Bankruptcy Clerk’s Office, till then, and Happy and Safe Holidays to all!
