On July 24, 2008, Attorney Melchionne was re-elected as Vice President of the Bankrtupcy Law Network LLC. Bankruptcy Law Network is a diverse and unaffiliated group of bankruptcy lawyers and consumer advocates brought together by a common devotion to the consumer. They recognize that living well in America has become increasingly more difficult for the average consumer — a group which is commonly known as the “middle class”. The websites expose the roadblocks to financial freedom and stability that have proliferated and include articles on rising interest rates, predatory loans, Adjustable Rate Mortgages, inaccurate credit reports, obnoxious and unethical debt collectors and “easy” credit. The company also maintains three sister sites: Credit Law Network, Debt Law Network and Mortgage Law Network. Together, they help guide the consumer through the financial roadblocks, and where necessary, perform minor surgery on your pocketbook. The sites have also proved popular with the news media, other attorneys, Bankruptcy Trustees, Judges, and Federal and State representatives alike.
