Eugene S. Melchionne

Eugene S. Melchionne has been a prominent figure in consumer bankruptcy law since 2005 when he was appointed as the State Chair for the National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys (NACBA). In this role, he served as a critical link between the national organization and Connecticut-based attorneys. He was instrumental in enhancing the education of bankruptcy attorneys and promoting public access to bankruptcy relief following the legislative changes in 2005, a role he fulfilled until 2014.

In 2007, Eugene collaborated with 25 attorneys nationwide to establish the Bankruptcy Law Network, an online platform dedicated to providing clear and precise information on consumer credit issues, including bankruptcy and foreclosure. From 2009 to 2011, he led this organization as President, ensuring that consumers received accurate information about personal finance matters.

Eugene is a frequent speaker at seminars and workshops across the country, where he educates other attorneys on topics such as bankruptcy law, foreclosure, and the integration of technology in legal practices. He actively engages with Congress on matters related to real estate law, student loans, and bankruptcy. His expertise has been featured in various media outlets, including the New York Times, Hartford Courant, and Waterbury Republican-American.

Most recently, Eugene was elected to the Board of Directors for NACBA, the sole national organization focused on supporting consumer bankruptcy attorneys and advocating for the rights of consumer debtors. Since its inception in 1992, NACBA has grown to include over 4,000 members across all 50 states and Puerto Rico.
