Great Attorney
Brad did a great job explaining the process, and was there for me through every step. He made everything simple and painless, and was able to stop a wage garnishment right in it's tracks.

Chapter 7
Brad Covey did an incredible job sorting out a messed up financial crisis. He is very professional yet kind and empathetic. I recommend his service to anyone in need.

Sample of Legal Cases
In re Paul, 355 B.R. 64 (Bankr. N.D. Ill. 2001)
Trustee's motion to sell Debtor's annuity denied
In re Burciaga, 944 F.3d 681 (7th Cir. 2019)
Because 85% of unpaid wages are exempt from creditors’ claims in Illinois, and vacation pay is a form of wages, the decision of the district court is REVERSED.
