Chicago Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Attorneys

If you are facing a large debt burden, filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy may allow you to completely eliminate that debt. Chapter 7 bankruptcy, also known as "debt liquidation," wipes out unsecured debt, such as credit card and medical bills, while protecting consumers from creditor actions like harassment, wage garnishment and vehicle repossession.

At the Sulaiman Law Group, LTD, we have extensive experience helping clients throughout Chicago and the surrounding suburbs with Chapter 7 bankruptcy proceedings.

Contact us today online or by telephone at 630-413-9054 to speak with an experienced Chicago Chapter 7 bankruptcy lawyer.

Is Chapter 7 Right for You?

Many people who are considering Chapter 7 bankruptcy worry that they will lose their property by filing. In fact, as many as 90 percent of all Chapter 7 bankruptcies are "no-asset" cases, meaning the filers do not lose any property at all.

The law allows you to keep property, such as your house, car, clothing and household goods, within certain limits, called exemptions. Any property you own that lies outside of those exemptions may be sold by the bankruptcy trustee to pay off your creditors. Again, the majority of people who file for Chapter 7 have no qualifying assets and, therefore, lose little or no property.

Chapter 7 Stops Creditors

Chapter 7 bankruptcy enacts the automatic stay, a legal injunction that stops creditors from taking legal action against you and from even contacting you at all. The automatic stay is enacted the moment you file. If your bankruptcy is successful, your debt should be discharged within four to six months after filing.

Our attorneys will fully review your circumstances to help you decide if Chapter 7 bankruptcy is right for you. If you do not qualify for Chapter 7, you may wish to file for Chapter 13 bankruptcy or explore other debt relief options. The choice is yours. We are here to offer legal guidance and to help you achieve your debt relief goals.

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
