Welcome to attorneyvba.com The official website of SIDNEY W. FINDLEY Certified Virtual Bankruptcy Assistant What is a virtual bankruptcy assistant? The Virtual Bankruptcy Assistant (VBA) is relatively new to the legal field. It was started in 2001 by Victoria Ring a certified paralegal. Her firm 713Training.com LLC is the only organization to offer training and certification specifically for preparing bankruptcy petitions. 713Training.com LLC courses have been approved for Continuing Legal Education credit by the Ohio Supreme Court. In order for an individual to receive the designation Certified Virtual Bankruptcy Assistant (CVBA) he/she must pass a comprehensive examination on the preparation of bankruptcy petitions. VBAs are highly skilled independent business owners who prepare Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy petitions exclusively for Licensed Attorneys. They do not work for the general public and they do not give any legal advice. Advantages of using a virtual bankruptcy assistant: Increase the firm’s gross profit per hour on each case. The VBA does most of the paperwork. In most cases the attorney only spends 1 1/2 to 2 hours actual time on the case (including the 341 meeting). Most VBAs work from their home offices and are not limited to normal office hours. This allows them to complete a petition with almost no interruptions. They are trained to prepare well-detailed bankruptcy petitions. The result is fewer mistakes and an acceleration in the turnaround time required to complete the petition (usually in 2-3 days). VBAs are an asset to any law firm regardless of size. Since they work strictly on bankruptcy petitions from their home office they help reinforce your office staff. You won't miss deadlines due to unforeseen interruptions or circumstances. Paralegals and other law firm personnel are freed up to work on more complex cases. VBAs are independent contractors. This means the attorney is not required to withhold income tax, Social Security, Medicare, health insurance and various additional state and local taxes. VBAs take care of all of the above, plus, at their expense, supply their own office equipment, computers and software. They charge a flat fee for their services. 100% Guarantee - No financial risk for the law firm. If the attorney is not satisfied with the work he/she is not required to pay the VBA. DISCLAIMER We are not a law firm nor do we provide any legal advice or representation. We do not serve the general public. We only work under the supervision of licensed attorneys. Member of |
