Illinois Lawyer Recommedations

[debtfree76]

Hi,

Can anyone recommend a Chapter 7 lawyer recommendation?

Hi debtfree76, and welcome!

I don't think forum rules allow someone to recommend someone by name, I think that has to be by private message (PM) But if you are looking, this is may public service announcement on shopping for an attorney:

After reading plenty of posts, these seem to be the major sticking points....
Communication: phone/email/face-to-face, secretary/paralegal/attorney, turnaround time on responses
Organizaton/work ethic: dot all i's, cross all t's or 'good enough,' document filed ASAP or 'before the deadline'
Competence: know the local trustees, judges, filed cases like yours, up-to-date on relevant court rulings
Retainer/Fee: exactly what is covered, what is extra, what to expect as 'extra'

Some people have interviewed a half-dozen or more before before they found a 'good fit'
And of course, check the BBB and state bar association for a clean record.

Welcome aboard, lots of good folks here to help out!
