Not only can Lakelaw help provide personal debt relief, but we are the first, if not the only, bankruptcy law firm in Illinois and Wisconsin that helps clients fight back against predatory lending to avoid foreclosure. We are not just bankruptcy lawyers who understand bankruptcy law and bankruptcy law only; we are also financial services attorneys who are able to consider each client's full financial circumstances. Our clients are more than just another bankruptcy case to us — we look at the entire individual. We can help you deal with your debts in a dignified manner. We can also reorganize your small business under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, an Illinois Assignment for the Benefit of Creditors or Chapter 128 of the Wisconsin Statutes. Since we are licensed and practice in both Illinois and Wisconsin, we are particularly well suited to help you if you have recently moved from one state to the other or if you have property in both Wisconsin and Illinois.
Bankruptcy Attorneys Recognized as Experts Locally and Nationally
Because our attorneys have so much experience in bankruptcy law and are able to approach each case from a broad base of financial knowledge, they are frequently called upon to teach at Wisconsin, Illinois, national seminars and local bar gatherings. In addition, David Leibowitz has testified as an expert witness in bankruptcy court, and both of Lakelaw’s attorneys have been appointed as Chapter 7 trustees by the United States Trustee Program of the Department of Justice. In 2008, he was invited to speak at the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago’s “Wisconsin Moves Forward to Address Foreclosures” conference in Waukesha Wisconsin where he explained the latest and most advanced legal strategies consumers can use to protect their homes against foreclosures.
Building a New Life After Bankruptcy
Starting life after bankruptcy can be challenging, and it never hurts to have some extra help. At Lakelaw, our "Lakelaw Cares" program offers ongoing support to our bankruptcy clients after they receive their bankruptcy discharge. This includes credit counseling, assistance with budgets, referrals to sources for transportation and housing, and help dealing with creditors, credit reporting agencies and credit bureaus that mistakenly or maliciously continue to try to collect or report on debts that have been discharged.
If you are struggling under overwhelming debt, debt that you know you cannot pay, then there is no reason to struggle any longer. Take control of your life!
