David Leibowitz won a victory in bankruptcy court in Rockford, Illinois on April 29, 2009. Judge Barbosa held that Lakelaw's chapter 13 client did not have to pay all his disposable income in a chapter 13 plan as long as he paid all of his debts off in a 5 year period. This reversed Judge Barbosa's prior ruling that would have required all income to be paid and that the plan be completed in less than 5 years.
