About Marc
Biography
I grew up in Indiana. My job is all about getting people out of debt and effectively representing my clients. I received my undergraduate degree from Indiana University in Political Science. I received myJuris Doctorate from The John Marshall Law School. While at John Marshall, Marc was a staff editor on The Journal of Information and Technology Law. After law school Marc worked for one of the largest bankruptcy firms in Chicago. I left seeking a smaller more personalized firm. I worked at a small respected boutique firm practicing bankruptcy and litigation in bankruptcy. After that, I worked for a foreclosure firm in Northbrook in their bankruptcy department. Unsatisfied with creditors work I left and entered private practice. I am licensed in the State of Illinois, a member of the Federal Trial Bar, and licensed in both the Northern and Central Districts of Illinois Federal Courts.

Marc Gregory Wagman's Lawyer Endorsements
"I endorse this lawyer. Why? Because if you are seeking an attorney, you want one with experience to know your options, one with knowledge to be able to explain to you those options, one who fully explains the answers which his answers on AVVO demonstrate such ability. All of us attorneys who have practiced for many years have seen other attorneys in our field we would never recommend to a friend as their work product shows their inability to advise and then execute. Bankruptcy filing is a huge event in your life. Although you may only care about 2 goals (to discharge all possibly debts and to keep all equity in owned assets), there are other huge issues that can affect a case and the attorney you want will carefully scrutinize those so if those problems exist, he will advise you on such as well as what to do about them! This attorney fulfills that desire of a great experienced attorney. Thus, I endorse him..and suggest you call and discuss your situation with him!"
