Cook County Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Lawyer
In recent years, it's becoming increasingly common for individuals and families alike to lose control of their financial situation. Whether you've lost your job, are unable to work due to illness or injury, or have fallen behind on your credit cards or mortgage payments, it's important to realize that you have options for debt relief.
At times like these, it's important to find an attorney who goes beyond the legal aspects of your case. You need a lawyer committed to your success.
I'm Scott C. Polman, an experienced Chicago bankruptcy attorney. My firm, the Law Office of Scott C. Polman, is dedicated to providing personalized Chapter 7 bankruptcy guidance to clients throughout the Niles and Chicago, Illinois areas.
Personalized Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Advice
The Chapter 7 bankruptcy process is a viable debt relief option for many families and individuals looking to eliminate credit card bills, medical bills, personal loans, and other unsecured debt. The process allows for the discharge of these debts following the liquidation of your nonexempt assets by a bankruptcy trustee. In many cases, however, you can maintain possession of your home, your car, and other important assets and property.
To help you maximize the benefits from your case, I'll work hard to craft an effective bankruptcy petition, and offer personalized assistance throughout your proceedings. I'll help guide you through the credit counseling class, which is required before your case is filed, and the post-filing financial management course, which is required before your case closes. I'll also appear with you at the meeting of creditors, which is held about four to eight weeks after the filing date.
File Today to End the Hassles Related to Your Debt
In addition to eliminating your unsecured debt, a Chapter 7 filing will immediately impose an automatic stay, which puts an end to wage garnishments and lawsuits, and stops the harassing phone calls from creditors and bill collectors.
