Hello pgc,

I could find answers to two of your questions, but not the average
number of clients seen by an attorney per year.  Perhaps another
researcher will be able to find this number.  If not, would you like
me to answer your other two questions?

Hello Pgc, 

I have also been working on your question and I have the answer to 

1. How many properties went into foreclosure last year?
3. How many personal bankruptcy cases get filed each year?


Regarding question 2, ? How many clients does the average attorney see
per year?? I found the following numbers:

Private attorneys who work on the defense side for employers and
insurers have caseloads of between 40 and 60. Our NAIW Carson City
office averages 88 per attorney. In Las Vegas, it is more like 125-130
cases per attorney.

Would this information for your second question work for you?

Thanks, 
Bobbie7

Hello again Pgc,

Thank you for accepting my findings as the official answer to your question.



How many properties went into foreclosure last year?

850,000 properties succumbed to foreclosure in 2005

?Nearly 850,000 homeowners faced foreclosure last year and the number
is expected to be even higher this year. Foreclosures nationwide were
up 72 percent in the first quarter from the same period in 2005,
according to RealtyTrac, which publishes the largest national database
of foreclosure properties. In the second quarter, the number of
foreclosures fell slightly but remained 25 percent above the same
period in 2005. By last week, nearly 570,000 properties were in some
stage of foreclosure; at that rate, nearly 1 million properties will
have entered foreclosure this year.?
