Cook County Personal Bankruptcy Lawyer
At the Debra Levine Law Offices, we have worked closely with individuals facing debt collection or bankruptcy proceedings since 1996. We look at bankruptcy as more than just a chance to get a fresh financial start. We believe that bankruptcy can be the first step in a new financial direction, taking you toward a more secure financial future. We have successfully protected the rights of thousands of people in debt collection and bankruptcy matters.
Helping You Understand Your Bankruptcy and Debt Relief Alternatives
We provide a broad range of bankruptcy services to individuals and businesses in Illinois, handling all matters related to:
- Chapter 13 bankruptcy filings — We believe that reorganization under Chapter 13 often provides the best benefit in a personal bankruptcy filing, helping you restructure debt, while keeping your property. We will help you put together a reorganization plan to submit to your creditors, and will review any proposed repayment agreements to ensure they are within your means.
- Chapter 7 bankruptcy petitions — We will help you understand which debts can be permanently discharged under Chapter 7, as well as what property you can keep if you choose, including your home and cars.
- Chapter 11 bankruptcy actions — We offer Chapter 11 bankruptcy services to businesses, as well as individuals who have debt that exceeds the cap for Chapter 13.
Our attorneys also provide debt collections defense to individuals, including working directly with lenders or creditors to modify debts such as mortgages or vehicle loans. We understand that creditors frequently violate the provisions of the automatic stay, or behave in ways that violate the Fair Debt Collections Practice Act. We will help you seek damages, if appropriate for illegal creditor harassment. We also advise clients on the ways that bankruptcy can protect you before or during a divorce proceeding.
