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 Palatine:

Understanding Bankruptcy

Bankruptcy is a legal process designed to help individuals and businesses overcome overwhelming debt and start anew. It can stop foreclosures, halt creditor harassment, and wipe out debt under the protection of the federal bankruptcy court. Currently, O'Flaherty Law is only handling Chapter 7 bankruptcy.

Types of Bankruptcy:

  • Chapter 7 Bankruptcy: Often referred to as liquidation bankruptcy; it discharges most unsecured debts, such as credit card debt and medical bills.
  • Chapter 13 Bankruptcy: This is a reorganization bankruptcy, ideal for those with a regular income who can pay back part of their debts through a repayment plan.
  • Chapter 11 Bankruptcy: Primarily used by businesses to restructure their debts and continue operations.

The Role of a Bankruptcy Attorney in Palatine IL

A bankruptcy attorney is crucial in navigating the complexities of bankruptcy law. They provide valuable guidance on whether bankruptcy is the best option for you and which type to file based on your specific circumstances.

  • Evaluation of your financial situation to determine the best course of action.
  • Guidance on the bankruptcy filing process and preparation of all necessary documentation.

Open Communication 

No one wants to be sitting in the dark, unsure of what’s going on with their case. Part of our core practice model is to regularly update our clients on the status of their cases. 

Relationships Built on Trust and Communication 

Dealing with legal issues can be stressful. You don’t need added stress from an attorney who is slow to communicate and hasn’t given you a clear plan to resolve your case. Trust comes from knowing your attorney has your back and best interests in mind. 

A Team That Collaborates on Your Case 

We’ve had many legal clients complain that their last firm just didn’t have the resources or understanding to manage their case. Our attorneys regularly communicate across the firm, getting input from several legal professionals without the additional cost. 

Our Skills and Services 

Our skills and experience span decades and many different practice areas. We truly want to provide a comprehensive legal solution for our community. When you’ve got a legal question, we want to be the first law firm you think of because you know you can trust us to have the answers or tell you the next best solution. 

Competitive Fees with Excellent Service 

We are not a free legal aid firm. We pride ourselves on offering top-tier service at a competitive local price. Legal solutions cost money but putting them off only leads to more headaches and financial problems.

When to File a Chapter 13 Bankruptcy vs. a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

A Chapter 7 bankruptcy completely wipes out all the debtor’s dischargeable debts while a Chapter 13 bankruptcy provides for the payment of some or all the debtor’s debts over the course of 3 to 5 years. If, based on the debtor’s income, the debtor will not be able to pay off the full amount of the debts during the allotted time period in a Chapter 13 payment plan, the plan may provide for payment of a portion of the debts, with the remainder of the debt being discharged at the conclusion of the payment plan.
