BANKRUPTCY & DEBT RELIEF
CHICAGO · ZOOM & TELEPHONE CONSULTATIONS
A fresh start in the city, with an attorney you can reach.
A collection lawsuit, a frozen account, and rising living expenses can arrive at the same time. Start by separating immediate deadlines from debts that can be evaluated over a longer conversation. Zoom and telephone appointments let you begin from Chicago without planning a trip to Bolingbrook.
Bring any Cook County case number, creditor notices, recent income records, and your actual housing costs. Tell the attorney if money has already been withheld or a bank account restricted. A bankruptcy case is a federal proceeding; a local collection case may have separate deadlines.
Before choosing a chapter, identify what you need the discussion to resolve. Are you trying to understand a notice, keep up with a secured payment, or evaluate whether your current debt payments are sustainable? Bring those goals as well as the balances.
Chapter 7 guidance explains the questions surrounding discharge and property. Chapter 13 guidance introduces the repayment structure. Use the side-by-side comparison as a starting point, then discuss the facts rather than trying to self-select a chapter.
