Finding an attorney who is a “real person” can be difficult. Many attorneys surround themselves almost exclusively with other attorneys and are accustomed to speaking in ivory tower legalese. You should be able to connect with your attorney on a personal level, and he or she should speak to you in plain language that you can understand. You will be working very closely with this person on issues that are very important to you. It is important that he or she be down-to-earth and someone that you connect with.
The most common complaint that clients have of their attorneys is that the attorney is unreachable, does not communicate with them regularly, or does not promptly return your calls. Your attorney should reach out to you about your case regularly and respond within 24 hours to calls and e-mails. An open line of communication between you and your attorney is essential to building trust.

Your attorney’s goal should not be to win at all costs. Rather, it should be to achieve a favorable outcome for you as efficiently as possible. It is important that your attorney set realistic expectations at the outset as to the costs you should expect, the concerns that the attorney has about the outcome of your case, and the length of time that you should expect your case to take.
Regardless of the nature of your case, we have an experienced attorney who will focus on your individual needs. Our team of attorneys works closely together, bringing each of their different fields of experience to bear in order to optimize our client care.

Are you facing overwhelming debt in Chicago? Filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy might be your solution. This process discharges various debts like credit card, medical, and mortgage debts. To qualify, you'll need to pass a means test comparing your income to Illinois' median. Falling below the median generally makes you eligible. Chapter 7 bankruptcy is a practical choice for many in financial distress.
If you have a steady income, Chapter 13 bankruptcy in Chicago could be your path to managing debt. It involves creating a payment plan over three to five years and consolidating debts into a single monthly payment. This option can prevent foreclosure and repossession, offering a structured way to tackle your debt. Eligibility depends on several factors, and a Chicago bankruptcy attorney will guide you through this process.
Embarking on this journey can be daunting, but you're not alone. Whether choosing Chapter 7 or 13, our Chicago bankruptcy attorney will be with you every step. From assessing eligibility to filing paperwork, we'll ensure your case is handled with care and attention. Let's work together to regain your financial stability and peace of mind.

Our Chicago bankruptcy attorneys in this article discuss the steps required to prepare your bankruptcy petition. Before filing, you are required to complete an online credit counseling course. These are usually relatively short and the expense is nominal. Our Chicago Bankruptcy and debt resolution attorneys will work with you to help you provide us with information regarding your assets, liabilities, income and expenses. After a meeting with the creditors, your case will be heard in the appropriate court where your bankruptcy will then be discharged.
In this video, our Chicago bankruptcy attorneys explain when it makes sense to file a Chapter 13 bankruptcy rather than a Chapter 7 bankruptcy. We discuss the difference between Chapter 13 bankruptcy and Chapter 7 bankruptcy, when does it make sense to file a Chapter 13 bankruptcy rather than a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, and what are the eligibility requirements for a Chapter 13 bankruptcy.
In this video, our Chicago bankruptcy attorneys explain how in a chapter 13 bankruptcy the debtor pays off some or all of his or her debt through a payment plan over the course of either 3 or 5 years. This is different from a chapter 7 bankruptcy, in which the debtor’s assets are collected and used to pay creditors, while any remaining debt is immediately discharged. In this episode, we explain the chapter 13 bankruptcy process, including: credit counseling, filing your bankruptcy petition and schedules, filing your chapter 13 repayment plan, the confirmation hearing, and discharge of debt.
