Bankruptcy

It’s obviously not very pleasant for anyone to have to consider becoming bankrupt to ease their debt problems – but in many cases it is often the only option, and sometimes it is the best option in order to allow individuals with serious debt to get back on their feet sooner rather than later.

When faced with impending or constant creditor harassment, lawsuits, foreclosures, tax enforcement, or other issues, bankruptcy can be an important tool to allow you to protect yourself, your family, your property and/or your business.

Our team is well-versed in all types of personal bankruptcy and business bankruptcy situations including Chapter 7 & Chapter 13 bankruptcy regulations for individuals and Chapter 7 & 11 bankruptcy regulations for buisnesses.

Chapter 7 Individual Bankruptcy

The good thing about Chapter 7 bankruptcy for individuals is that most people who qualify may get to keep what they own – their house, automobile, furniture among other things. They are also able to get out of most types of unsecured debt, which includes credit cards, medical bills, judgments, garnishments, and some types of taxes.

Chapter 13 Individual Bankruptcy

Similar to Chapter 7 outlined above, most Chapter 13 bankruptcy cases for individuals usually result in that individual being able to keep their house and possessions. Chapter 13 ordinarily relates to people who have fallen behind in their mortgage payments.

Chapter 7 Business Bankruptcy

Chapter 7 bankruptcy is recommended for business-owners at times when bringing an end to that business is forced upon it by insufficient income generation to service its debts or meet the needs of the entrepreneur. A Business Chapter 7 allows a business owner to move on with his or her life by stopping creditor harassment, reducing the likelihood of future litigation and generally freeing up a business owner to pursue other opportunities.

Chapter 11 Business Bankruptcy

Chapter 11 bankruptcy is the route for business-owners to take if they want to make an attempt to stay in business while the court supervises the re-organization of the company’s contractual debt obligations. The court can grant complete or partial relief from most of the company’s debts and its contracts, so that the company can make a fresh start.

Oak Lawn, Cook County, IL 60453

In earlier times Oak Lawn used to be known as Black Oaks Grove when it began life as a small farming community with only around 3,000 residents in 1930. But then following the cessation of WW2 and the arrival of migrant workers from the south side of Chicago the population has gradually swelled to the 56,000 it now stands at (although at one time in the early 70s the figure hit a height of 63,000).

The quality health care provided by Christ Hospital is what the town is perhaps best known for. It is which the area’s largest and employs more than 3,500 personnel. Predominantly a “mature community” Oak Lawn currently relies upon affordable homes and community services, but is being ‘re-shaped’ in an effort to attract more young families into its fold.

The general ethos of town chiefs is on redevelopment rather than development. The town is one third commercial with an array of retail services and business enterprises, mostly along the main streets. Situated just 38 minutes away from Chicago city makes Oak Lawn a popular and attractive proposition for both business men and women to rest, work and play.
