I want to take a moment and thank all of the people that helped make 2014 such an exceptional year. I have had the privilege and the blessing to work with some truly dedicated people this year. People who really chose to put the client first in every regard. We were able to recover hundreds of vehicles that were either repossessed, booted by the city of Chicago or impounded. We were able to give our clients an opportunity to reorganize and repay the debt either related to those vehicles or otherwise associated with the vehicle such as parking tickets. The overwhelming majority of those clients still possess those vehicles that we worked so hard to recover.
We also worked hard to save hundreds of homes from foreclosure. We were able to develop repayment plans under chapter 13 which allowed our clients to start making their regular mortgage payment once again and paying the arrearage off over a three to five-year period. The majority of those people who decided to file chapter 13 still possess their homes.
For hundreds of others, we were able to eliminate millions of dollars in unsecured debt such as medical bills, credit cards, utility bills, and personal loans. These people were able to get on with their lives without the fear of debt constantly bringing them down. We were able to end the harassment of bill collectors, lawsuits, garnishments, bank citations, and other forms of collection efforts. To me, this is the biggest benefit for being a bankruptcy lawyer. I get to witness and am a part of the transformation from debt to debt free almost overnight.
If you are someone who is reading this blog regularly, following the law firm, and considering whether or not to take advantage of either a fresh start or a reorganization, I would strongly suggest that you take action at the very start of the new year so that you can find a resolution to your ongoing debt issues.
Once again, I want to thank you all for making 2014 such a great year. Feel free to contact me directly at 847-520-8100. Unlike other law firms, I am available to talk to clients and I take pride in that fact.
