Illinois Bankruptcy Exemptions Lawyer
Chapter 7 is not designed to leave people with nothing from which to rebuild. Rather, it is designed to provide meaningful debt relief while allowing to protect your property through the use of exemptions allowed under Illinois law. Most people who file Chapter 7 are able to retain all of their property. Rather than being a destructive process that takes everything you own, it is meant to help you move toward a sound financial future. Always remember that Chapter 13 is always an option if you have more property than you can protect under Chapter 7. Chapter 13 is designed to protect ALL assets.
