About bankruptcy cases
Chicagoland bankruptcies are filed in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Illinois. Chapter 7 discharges unsecured debt in roughly four months; Chapter 13 reorganizes payments into a three-to-five-year plan and is often used to stop a foreclosure. Illinois exemptions protect a limited amount of equity in a home and a vehicle.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a bankruptcy attorney in Chicago cost?
Of the attorneys listed for Chicago, 1 offer a free first consultation. After that meeting, fees depend on the matter: bankruptcy work is commonly handled on a flat fee, hourly rate, or contingency. Ask in writing what the fee covers before you sign anything.
How are these attorneys verified?
An administrator reviews every listing before it is published: the Illinois bar licence, the law school, and where applicable admission to the Federal Trial Bar. The 🌿 Ivy League and ⚖ Federal Trial Bar badges appear only after we have examined the diploma or certificate of admission. No payment substitutes for that review.
Will I lose my house or car if I file for bankruptcy?
Usually not. Illinois exemptions protect a set amount of equity in a home and a vehicle, and most Chapter 7 cases end without the trustee selling anything. If you are behind on the mortgage, Chapter 13 can stop a foreclosure and spread the arrears across a payment plan.
