Chicago Automatic Stay Attorneys

The Bankruptcy Code provides powerful legal protections for people struggling with debt and facing creditor actions. One of the most powerful is the automatic stay. The automatic stay is a legal injunction that goes into effect as soon as your bankruptcy petition is filed. Once the stay is in place, creditors cannot attempt to collect debts from you. They cannot seize your property, garnish your wages, place liens against your property or even contact you.

At the Sulaiman Law Group, LTD, we help people throughout Chicagoland file for bankruptcy. The automatic stay is your right. We can help you use it to stop your creditors and get started on the road to debt relief.

What Can the Automatic Stay Do for You?

Whether you are filing Chapter 7, Chapter 13 or Chapter 11 bankruptcy, the automatic stay will protect you from most creditor actions. The stay is immediate and automatic, legally barring your creditors from taking legal action against you.

Limits on the Automatic Stay

Typically the automatic stay remains in effect for the duration of the bankruptcy case. However, if you have filed for bankruptcy once in the past year and your case was dismissed, the automatic stay will only last 30 days. If you have had more than one bankruptcy dismissed in the past year, the automatic stay will not go into effect at all.

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....
