About Us

Quick Overview

National Creditors Bar Association (NCBA) is a bar association dedicated to serving law firms engaged in the practice of creditors rights law. Originally founded in 1993 as the National Association of Retail Collection Attorneys (NARCA), our membership grew and we quickly became the premier association for the creditors rights attorney. In 2015, we recognized that the changes in our economy and in our member firms’ practice areas, meant that our association needed to change too. We broadened our membership base to include firms practicing in foreclosure, bankruptcy, student loans, replevin, to name a few, and we expanded our educational offerings and networking opportunities.

Currently, our membership is comprised of over 350 law firms and individual members, totaling approximately 1,700 attorneys, in the areas of creditors rights law, defense and in-house counsel. Members practice in over 20 different practice areas in the 50 states, Puerto Rico, and Canada. Our attorney members are committed to being professional, responsible and ethical in their practice and profession.
