Who We Are

This site was started back in 2006 by Albin Renauer when he left Nolo.com to explore what could be done about access to justice (#a2j) with hyper-local law delivered by relational databases...

Today, LegalConsumer.com is authored by several folks who worked with Albin at Nolo in the 1990s and early 2000s. All have law degrees and 30+ years of experience explaining the law in plain English to ordinary folks like you.

What We Cover

Bankruptcy

Our Bankruptcy Means Test Calculator launched in May 2006 and is now in its 28th edition. It has served over 3 million consumers and has been updated regularly through the latest edition for bankruptcies filed on or after November 1, 2022. We also have extensive listings of state and federal bankruptcy exemption laws and information about using your local bankruptcy court.

Obamacare

In 2013, when the Republican legislature of Missouri passed a law prohibiting state employees from giving information about how to sign up for Obamacare, we added Obamacare By Zipcode, and a year later ranked #1 on google for "Missouri Obamacare" (and in Texas too!) Since then, we've updated our info every year and have the latest on how to sign up for Obamacare for 2023 in your state!
