Changes in bankruptcy law

Sweeping changes in bankruptcy law took effect in October, 2005. The changes are most evident in consumer bankruptcy, especially the debt liquidations filings under Chapter 7. A means test is now applied to all consumer filings. Many people seeking debt protection under Chapter 7 must now file under Chapter 13. Our Illinois bankruptcy attorneys provide effective advice to individuals and businesses regarding current debt relief options.

Consumer bankruptcy – Chapter 7 and Chapter 13

The landscape has changed in consumer bankruptcy. At RIFFNER • BARBER, LLC, we guide people through the process and help protect their home and other assets from foreclosure or liquidation.

Our Illinois bankruptcy attorneys sit down with clients and review their financial situation.

Our Schaumburg law office also provides debt-counseling services to clients in the north and western suburbs.
