Cook County Bankruptcy Attorney
If you are considering filing for bankruptcy, you have probably reached the end of your rope with bill collectors and juggling payments. You may have heard that bankruptcy is your best option for eliminating or reorganizing your debt while avoiding foreclosure of your house or repossession of your car. Now you need to know what the process will entail and how long it will take to get the fresh start your family needs.
The Law Offices of Chad M. Hayward P.C. — Serving Clients in Chicago and Throughout Illinois
Every bankruptcy case is a little different, which is why it is impossible to tell you over the phone or on a website how long it will be until your debts are eliminated or reorganized, or how much the process will cost. Generally, though, if the bankruptcy means test determines that you can file for Chapter 7 to eliminate your debt, the bankruptcy process will take about three months from the date you pay your retainer to file. If you decide to file for Chapter 13, your court-supervised debt repayment plan will be in place in about four months.
