Bankruptcy Is a Sword, Not a Shield

If you are struggling with debt, it may seem like your creditors hold all the cards. In fact, this is far from the truth. The federal Bankruptcy Code gives individuals a powerful legal weapon to use against creditors. In Chapter 7, bankruptcy is like a sword because it literally cuts away all of your debt, while Chapter 13 bankruptcy is more like a shield that provides protection from your debt by making it more manageable for you and your family. Bankruptcy has the power to stop harassment, foreclosure, repossession, garnishment and other creditor actions. It also can discharge debt, giving people like you the chance to start over with a clean financial slate.

Bankruptcy law is powerful, but how can you make it work for you?

At the Sulaiman Law Group, LTD, we can help you answer that question. Our attorneys have extensive experience handling Chapter 7, Chapter 13 and Chapter 11 bankruptcy cases for clients throughout Chicago and the surrounding suburbs. With our lawyers on your side, you may be able to put your debt problems behind you for good.

Contact us today online or by telephone at 630-413-9054 to speak with an experienced Chicago bankruptcy lawyer.

Is Bankruptcy Right for You?

It is possible that you experienced a job loss, medical problems or another crisis that forced you to borrow more than you are able to pay back. Bankruptcy is not right for everyone, but it might be right for you. If you are facing creditor actions or struggling to make minimum payments on credit cards, consider talking to a bankruptcy attorney about your options.

  • Chapter 7 bankruptcy: You need to take the means test to determine if you qualify for Chapter 7 bankruptcy.
  • Chapter 11 bankruptcy: If you are a business owner facing bankruptcy, Chapter 11 may provide a solution for your situation.
  • Chapter 13 bankruptcy: If you make a regular income and are considering filing for bankruptcy, you should learn more about Chapter 13. We have specific information about repayment, loan stripping and severance, which can all be accomplished under a Chapter 13 bankruptcy.
  • Chapter 20: This is a hybrid of Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy that can be helpful in specific situations.

Testimonials

I couldn't have prayed for a better law firm than Sulaiman Law Group. I found your team to be congenial, professional and consistently available throughout the process. I only wish I had found you sooner. I will highly recommend your firm to any and everyone!

Wow. An honest, ethical attorney who actually cares about people. I know, how can that be. Well, you need to talk to Ahmad Sulaiman to find out.

He has literally saved my life; and, that is not a metaphor. His office has fought for me where few firms in the country could have had any success; and, I am able to look forward with some hope.

You can be certain that, if you are not an attorney, whatever you THINK you know about the law, you are probably GUARANTEED to be completely wrong in your assessment. Consult with an attorney who actually cares, tempered with being brilliant.

I could not be in better hands; and, words do not describe how differently my life would have been had I not met Ahmad Sulaiman. It was literally an answer to a prayer. By Glen S

Ahmad is a real gem in the legal profession. I strongly recommend him.

Mr. Mohammed Badwan is an excellent, sincere and knowledgeable attorney. He is always on top of negotiations with creditors and gets back to you promptly to give you any updates.. He makes you feel very comfortable and stays with you as a good legal advisor through the entire process.

As a healthcare professional and business owner myself, I am very sensitive to the minute details with the quality of overall service- work ethics, professionalism and the team effort put in to achieve client's goals and satisfaction. I will give this group an A+ and wish them success and bright future. Keep up the good work....

Sulaiman Law Group is an outstanding law firm. It is unique in a way that its philosophy is in getting the job done without making things complicated. Most lawyers like to make your matters sound more complex than they are, and that's where they justify their high costs.
