Bankruptcy Law

Northeast Illinois Personal Bankruptcy Attorney

McHenry County • Lake County • Waukegan • Woodstock

Are you a victim of the predatory practices of the current subprime mortgage industry? Were you promised an affordable adjustable rate mortgage (ARM) only to discover that your payment amount has tripled? Are you facing foreclosure because you can't make those high payments?

Stop the harassing phone calls! Contact Bentley & Ridgway.

I have over 20 years experience representing individuals throughout northeast Illinois in all matters related to personal bankruptcy. If you hire me, the next time a collection agent calls you, you can tell him to call me.

I know that major employers in northeast Illinois have cut jobs. I know that many hardworking residents of McHenry and Lake Counties have lost income and can't afford to pay their bills. I know that many have also been taken advantage of by unethical mortgage lenders. I know that many good people in the area have bills they can't pay because they were injured in a motor vehicle accident or on the job.

When you come to my offices for help with debt relief, I will inform you of all of your options, including personal bankruptcy. If you choose to file for protection under Chapter 7 or Chapter 13, I will file all the papers. I will then track the progress of your petition, keeping you informed at every step of the process.

It is important to understand that filing for bankruptcy does not necessarily ruin your credit. In many instances, it is the best way to get your credit back on track.

At my offices, I work with people from all socioeconomic backgrounds with varying levels of debt. We will help protect your privacy and get rid of the fear of answering the phone or checking the mailbox.

For an aggressive and experienced lawyer who will fight relentlessly to protect your rights in a bankruptcy matter, contact or call me at (815) 385-0669 for a confidential consultation. Evening appointments are available upon request.
