Bankruptcy Lawyer in Lombard

Experience the Mevorah Difference

Dealing with financial difficulties can cause stress, tension, and problems in the home. You may feel like you are in over your head and don't know where to turn. Bankruptcy can offer an opportunity to restructure or eliminate your debts and start you on the road to financial recovery. It can also stop foreclosures, repossessions, and creditor harassment.

At the Law Offices of Steven H. Mevorah & Associates, we have been assisting clients in filing for bankruptcy for more than 20 years. We focus our bankruptcy practice on assisting individuals in filing for Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcies. Both Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 stop collection activities such as creditor phone calls, foreclosures, and repossessions. However, each chapter operates differently and applies to different types of people.

Chapter 13 offers individuals with a steady income the opportunity to repay their debts and keep their assets. In addition, the total amount of the debt to be repaid may be reduced by as much as 90 percent. The court supervises and approves the individual's bankruptcy petition and the proposed plan for debt repayment.

Chapter 7 is also known as "straight" bankruptcy. This type of bankruptcy cancels most of your debts. However, you may have to surrender some of your property to pay off your creditors. A bankruptcy trustee appointed by the court will meet with you, go over your paperwork, and determine which property can be sold to pay off your creditors and which creditors get priority. At the end of the process, all of your debts are discharged.
