Client Testimonials

Christi M.

Kevin's firm handled setting up my will and trust recently. They took something that seemed intimidating and made it easy to understand. I've also referred a couple clients to Kevin - he's trustworthy, approachable and very fairly priced.

Preparing For Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

Our Wheaton bankruptcy attorneys help you better understand the steps required to prepare your bankruptcy petition in this companion article.  

Before filing, you are required to complete an online credit counseling course. These are usually relatively short and inexpensive.  Our Wheaton bankruptcy and debt resolution attorneys will work with you to help you with information regarding your assets, liabilities, income and expenses. After a meeting with the creditors, your case will be heard in the appropriate court where your bankruptcy will then be discharged.

If I File For Bankruptcy Can I Keep My House And Cars?

In this article, our Wheaton bankruptcy attorneys explain how you can keep your house and cars in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy.

In most cases, our clients can file for bankruptcy without losing any assets including their home and vehicles.  If your vehicle or home is held as collateral, you will most likely have the option to sign a reaffirmation agreement.  This reaffirms the loan without discharging it in the bankruptcy process.  The Bankruptcy Code states that a portion of equity in particular types of property can be exempt from collection.  You can apply these exemptions to the property you decide to keep in order to avoid the trustee collecting the property to pay your creditors.  For example:

  • You are allowed to keep $2,400.00 of equity in your vehicles ($4,800.00 for a married couple filing jointly)
  • You are allowed to keep $15,000.00 of equity in your primary residence ($30,000.00 for a married couple filing jointly); 
  • There is a $4,000.00 wildcard exemption that you can apply to any property of your choice ($8,000.00 for a married couple).
