Legal Question in Bankruptcy in New York

Bankruptcy help outside brooklyn

Why is it that there is nowhere or no one in the entirety of Queens County,with its plethora of lawyers,that gives free legal advice on bankruptcy???! The only thing I was told about was a once a month evening meeting in Brooklyn ,for which you have to be put on a waiting list.For people that have a hard time traveling,that just makes it a even better situation.Obvioulsy,if you have to file bankruptcy,odds are you cant afford a lawyer for help!

Most people who file for bankruptcy, are overextended, as opposed to broke, this means that they can afford an attorney.
