Exhibit A
Bankruptcy Lawyers work in Garland
Garland sits in Dallas County with a large stock of older single family homes and a steady flow of households working through debt, and the searches for bankruptcy help here come from people typing on a phone in the evening. The firms competing for that attention are mostly small practices and solo attorneys working the Garland and northeast Dallas County area, with a handful of consumer law offices from Dallas and Richardson also bidding on the same terms. Paid search on bankruptcy keywords is among the more expensive local legal categories, because a single retained client is worth a lot to a practice, so the sponsored slots above the map fill up fast. The demand is there every week of the year, and the firms that publish useful pages about the Garland filing process are the ones that collect it.
