Finding The Best Hoffman Estates Bankruptcy Attorney

02/17/12

What should you look for in a Hoffman Estates bankruptcy attorney?  There are many bankruptcy attorneys that can help you file a case either under Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 of the Bankruptcy Code.  The important thing for you is to find an attorney that 1) you are comfortable with and 2) has the requisite skill and knowledge to handle your case from start to finish.  There are many attorneys who purport to practice bankruptcy law who do not have significant experience and you are taking a risk when you hire one of those attorneys. 

I have been practicing for over 20 years.  I am a member of the American Bankruptcy Institute and I have made bankruptcy my life’s work.  I have helped thousands of people get out of debt through the help of Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy.  

Chapter 7 is the most common form of bankruptcy and that’s known as fresh start bankruptcy.  In a Chapter 7 bankruptcy case, a client comes to me with very little in the way of significant assets and a time of unsecured debt.  Those people are entitled to a fresh start under the United States Bankruptcy Code while they can eliminate medical bills, credit card bills, personal loans and debts for different types of services.  There are some debts that are not eliminated in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy and those include student loans, recent taxes, parking tickets, child support, maintenance or debts incurred by some type of fraud.  However, the overwhelming majority of my clients receive a fresh start in approximately 110 days from start to finish.
