Bankruptcy

While bankruptcy has enabled millions of Americans to find a new path to a brighter financial future, it is not the right solution for every debt challenge. Many people think of bankruptcy as a matter of merely filling the proper forms and submitting them to a court for consideration. If that were true, there would be no difference from one attorney to the other.

A Chapter 7 bankruptcy wipes out unsecured debt and gives you a fresh financial start. It stops collection activity, foreclosure, and repossessions, and it allows you to return cars and houses without owing a deficiency balance.

A Chapter 13 bankruptcy gives you a chance to repay debts under the protection of the Bankruptcy Court. Chapter 13 plans often offer a repayment plan that is less than a debt consolidation plan offered by most credit counseling agencies.

There are many rules for filing for bankruptcy, and it can be difficult to file for bankruptcy on your own. We, at the Law Office of Sara J. Gray P.C., help you file for Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcies.

Driving under the influence, or DUI convictions carry some of the most severe penalties, in the state of Illinois, in the US. Even a first-time offense could lead to high fines, loss of driving privileges, and jail time.

While a DUI conviction in Illinois can impact your insurance and credit score, there are other ways you might be affected too – including cancellation of your medical marijuana card, permits to drive for employment purposes, etc. The regulations and driver protections around DUI are continually changing.
