Personalized Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Representation
Few things are more personal than your finances. If you are struggling to keep up with bills and tired of fending-off creditors, then Chapter 7 bankruptcy may be the best option you have to resolve your financial worries. However, it is important to find an attorney who goes beyond the legal aspects of your case. You need an attorney committed to your success.
I'm Scott C. Polman, a Niles, Illinois, bankruptcy lawyer who represents individuals and families throughout the greater Chicago area. I follow the golden rule, providing my clients with the same personal attention that I would want from an attorney if I was struggling to find a resolution to my debt problems.

Is Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Right for You?
If your debt primarily consists of unsecured debts — medical bills, credit card bills and personal loans — Chapter 7 is the best way to rid yourself of that debt and achieve a fresh start. From determining if you qualify for Chapter 7 under the means test, all the way through the final discharge of your debt, I will guide you through the entire Chapter 7 process. I will analyze your full financial picture, including assets and debt, and I will identify any bankruptcy exemptions that you may have, which will allow you to keep certain assets and property.
The Bankruptcy Process — What You Can Expect
From our initial meeting through the discharge of your debt, here is an overview of what I'll do for you:
- Determine if you qualify for Chapter 7
- Analyze your financial picture to determine if bankruptcy is right for you
- File all necessary paperwork
- Accompany you to the creditors meeting
What Do I Need From You?
From beginning to end, the Chapter 7 bankruptcy process typically lasts three to five months. If bankruptcy sounds like a good choice for you, this is what I'll need from you to get things started:
- Your last six months of pay stubs
- Your last two tax returns
- A list of your assets and debts
