National Association of Virtual Bankruptcy Assistants

Welcome to the NAVBA

The National Association of Virtual Bankruptcy Assistants ("NAVBA") was established on October 1, 2007.

It is the first nationally-recognized professional organization in the United States dedicated to the education

and development of the virtual bankruptcy assistant industry.  We also dedicate time to increasing

awareness to bankruptcy attorneys of the benefits of employing highly

skilled and trained virtual bankruptcy assistants.

The NAVBA was developed by Victoria Ring, the original developer of the

virtual bankruptcy assistant field in 2001.  Therefore, the NAVBA is the

only organization offering the VBA Certification Exam. This exam is used

by law firms for employment pretesting of legal assistants and paralegals

as well as virtual bankruptcy assistants looking for national recognition of

What is a Virtual Bankruptcy Assistant?

A virtual bankruptcy assistant ("VBA") works under the sole discretion of

debtor bankruptcy attorneys; preparing Chapter 7 and Chapter 13

bankruptcy petitions. This process has been proven to dramatically reduce

the overhead expenses for attorneys and by hiring VBAs to handle the bankruptcy petitions (without office

interruptions) will vastly improve the quality of the bankruptcy petitions, resulting in a very smooth

operation for the attorney, the bankruptcy court and more pleasant experience for the debtors.
