Carey D. Ebert, Partner Bar Admissions: Texas, 1985 U.S. District Court, Northern District of Texas, 1986 Education: BA, Newcomb College, Tulane University, 1982 JD, Texas Tech University School of Law, 1985

Carey Ebert has a passionate belief in the rights of individuals with financial problems, and has built her career around her commitment to preserve the right of individuals to get a fresh financial start.

Carey attended Newcomb College at Tulane University in New Orleans where she graduated cum laude with honors in Public Policy. She then attended the Texas Tech School of Law in Lubbock, from which she graduated in 1985 with Board of Barrister honors. She was admitted to the Texas Bar in 1985, and to the US District Court in the Northern District of Texas in 1986. Her practice is 100% consumer and small business bankruptcy law.

She has been an active leader among her peers both locally and nationally. She is currently serving her second term as Vice-President of the National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys (NACBA), an organization of 2500 bankruptcy attorneys across the nation.  She has served as President of the Northeast Tarrant County Bar Association in 1998-99.

Through her role as a NACBA Board member, she has aggressively fought against the erosion of the right to bankruptcy guaranteed by the US Constitution. "I think this is very important," she comments. "Each year since 1996 Congress has considered laws which would make it harder for individuals to achieve bankruptcy protection. I am proud that NACBA has led the fight to keep important personal rights in place."

Carey has lectured at seminars on Basic Bankruptcy Litigation and Bankruptcy Attorney Fees to other bankruptcy attorneys through her association with NACBA.
