We believe your attorney should not speak in legalese

Finding an attorney who is a “real person” can be difficult. Many attorneys surround themselves almost exclusively with other attorneys and are accustomed to speaking in ivory tower legalese.  You should be able to connect with your attorney on a personal level, and he or she should speak to you in plain language that you can understand.  You will be working very closely with this person on issues that are very important to you. It is important that he or she be down-to-earth and someone that you connect with.

We believe your attorney should be accessible

The most common complaint that clients have of their attorneys is that the attorney is unreachable, does not communicate with them regularly, or does not promptly return your calls.  Your attorney should reach out to you about your case regularly and respond within 24 hours to calls and e-mails.  An open line of communication between you and your attorney is essential to building trust.

Learn how we service your area through our Remote Location Approach.

We believe your attorney should be realistic with you about costs and outcomes

Your attorney’s goal should not be to win at all costs.  Rather, it should be to achieve a favorable outcome for you as efficiently as possible.  It is important that your attorney set realistic expectations at the outset as to the costs you should expect, the concerns that the attorney has about the outcome of your case, and the length of time that you should expect your case to take.

Regardless of the nature of your case, we have an experienced attorney who will focus on your individual needs. Our team of attorneys works closely together, bringing each of their different fields of experience to bear in order to optimize our client care.

About Bankruptcy Attorney Bloomington:

Understanding Your Bankruptcy Options

The journey through financial distress can often feel isolating, but bankruptcy offers a beacon of hope for many. In Illinois, understanding the nuances between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy can significantly impact your path to financial recovery.

  • Chapter 7 Bankruptcy: Often referred to as the "clean slate" bankruptcy, this option allows for the discharge of most unsecured debts, providing relief from creditors and a fresh start towards financial stability.
  • Chapter 13 Bankruptcy: This route involves reorganizing debts into manageable monthly payments, allowing you to retain your assets while working towards debt relief. It's particularly beneficial for those facing foreclosure or repossession.

A Journey to Financial Freedom: An Illinois Story

Meet Jane, a Bloomington resident overwhelmed by mounting debt from medical bills and credit cards. Fearing the loss of her home and the constant harassment from creditors, Jane felt trapped in an endless cycle of financial strain. That's when she turned to our experienced Illinois bankruptcy attorneys for guidance.

From our first meeting, we worked closely with Jane to evaluate her financial situation, ultimately determining that Chapter 7 bankruptcy was her best route to a fresh start. We meticulously prepared her case, ensuring that she understood each step of the process.

Here's how we helped Jane:

  • Filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, initiating the automatic stay to halt creditor actions.
  • Leveraged Illinois exemptions to protect her home and personal property.
  • Successfully discharged her overwhelming unsecured debts.

Jane's story is a testament to the power of knowledgeable legal guidance in navigating bankruptcy. She not only retained her home but also emerged from the process debt-free, ready to rebuild her financial future with confidence.
