Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Lawyer, Chicago

Chapter 7 bankruptcy allows you to quickly discharge most unsecured debt, including credit cards, personal loans, medical bills, payday loans, and more. To file Chapter 7, you must pass a means test and complete a credit counseling course. DebtStoppers will help you with both.

Your attorney will also ensure you keep as many of your assets as possible. In fact, many of our clients in Chicago find they can keep all of their assets even when they file Chapter 7. Your attorney will ensure you utilize all federal and state exemptions to keep your assets and discharge your debt.

The attorneys at DebtStoppers can help you determine if you qualify for Chapter 7. If so, your attorney can help you file quickly. DebtStoppers is also proud to offer $0 up-front Chapter 7, meaning we can even advance your filing fee, so you don’t have to wait to get started.

Ultimately, if your case is successful, your unsecured debt will be discharged and you’ll get a fresh start.

Chapter 13 Bankruptcy Attorney, Chicago

Chapter 13 bankruptcy is a powerful legal tool that enables you to reorganize your debt through a court-approved repayment plan that lasts three to five years. Once you successfully complete the repayment plan, your remaining eligible debt is discharged.

Your attorney will help make a compelling case on your behalf and ensure your monthly payments are affordable. During the repayment plan, you will make one affordable monthly payment to the court trustee, and you will keep your assets. If you have more debt than you can afford, Chapter 13 may be a good solution for you.

It’s important to know that Chapter 13 bankruptcy takes longer and is typically more complex than Chapter 7. However, the qualified Chicago attorneys at DebtStoppers are experts in Chapter 13 bankruptcy and will help you every step of the way.
