Core Bankruptcy and Debt Relief Practice Areas

Consumer insolvency law provides powerful protections to honest debtors facing unforeseen hardship. As dedicated debt relief lawyers, Gleason and Gleason delivers comprehensive legal assistance tailored to your budget and long-term financial health:

• Chapter 7 Bankruptcy: Commonly referred to as straight or liquidation bankruptcy, Chapter 7 allows eligible filers to eliminate unsecured debts, including credit cards, medical bills, utility arrears, personal loans, and payday advances. The firm conducts thorough means testing and state exemption analysis, allowing the overwhelming majority of clients to keep their homes, personal vehicles, and household belongings while eliminating debt entirely.
• Chapter 13 Repayment Plans: For wage earners who do not qualify for Chapter 7 or who face imminent mortgage foreclosure, Chapter 13 provides a structured, court-supervised repayment plan spanning three to five years. Under Chapter 13, filers can halt foreclosure sales, catch up on past-due mortgage installments, eliminate second mortgages, and lower vehicle loan balances while repaying only a manageable fraction of unsecured obligations.
• Foreclosure Defense and Repossession Prevention: Filing a bankruptcy petition instantly triggers an automatic stay under federal law. This federal order immediately halts pending sheriff sales, stops vehicle repossessions, and prevents creditors from seizing bank accounts or garnishing wages.
• Chicago Parking and Red Light Camera Ticket Relief: The firm assists clients in leveraging local ticket relief programs in conjunction with Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 filings, establishing affordable payment schedules and discharging qualifying older citations and severe late penalties.

Transparent Pricing and Dedicated Attorney Access

Gleason and Gleason is widely recognized throughout Cook County for providing some of the most competitive and transparent fee arrangements in Illinois. The firm offers affordable installment plans for Chapter 7 cases and minimal initial retainers for Chapter 13 filings, ensuring that financial relief remains within reach of working families.
