Robert J. Adams provided excellent direction in our case. He provided up to date information and provided all our options. He was available when needed and worked to get the best result possible for us. He was sympathetic during a difficult time and helped us navigate thru the legal process. His staff is great and I never feel like I am imposing when I call. I would most certainly recommend Robert J. Adams & Associates to anyone who needs bankruptcy help.
Many years ago I found myself divorced and single mother. Although I really tried to make ends meet, I just keep falling behind with my bills. Before going to Robert I consulted with two other attorneys that I saw on TV regarding bankruptcy. As soon as I got in the door, they wanted to talk about fees and not my problems, I felt like I was being interrogated and they treated me like I did something wrong. At that time I was working two jobs and had two small children to look after and between rent, household bills and daycare I had no money to pay old credit cards and medical bills. I found Robert through a close friend of mine. It was like I struck gold, as Robert is not on TV. After consulting with Robert for one minute, I knew that he was the right attorney for me and my family. His staff was so welcoming, Robert’s experience and knowledge provided me with a level of comfort that the other attorneys did not. When my case got complicated and the credit card company filed an adversary, Robert took them to trial, and after 2 days, he won the case. That was over 12 years ago. Recently I had medical problems and after insurance, I still owed the hospital thousands of dollars. After two years of trying to negotiate with the collection companies, I call Robert. He again filed my cases and my life got instantly better. I highly recommend Robert to anyone considering bankruptcy. He and his staff really go the extra mile, and when you call his office you can talk to a person.

The best of the best
After months of talking to bankruptcy attorneys and getting the door slammed in our face because we were above the median income, we almost gave up on finding a lawyer to help us file for bankruptcy. All the lawyers I spoke to did not care about our situation just saw our income. Then I came across Robert J Adams and Associates. We decided to give it one last shot. Robert and Tina Adams didn’t just look at our income, they listened to why we needed to file with all our medical expenses. Our son needs so much special medical care and our insurance does not cover a lot of it. We were drowning in medical bills and they took our case. Robert and Tina Adams are very knowledgeable and genuinely care about helping people. They made our bankruptcy case easy and successful due to their ability to deal with this specialized and complex case. Without Robert and Tina Adams we would not be able to get my son the help he needs. They worked very hard and beat the means test. My experience with Robert J Adams and Associates can be summed up as one of the most positive things that has happened to us in a long time. God answered our prayers. I recommend anyone in financial troubles to speak to the Best Bankruptcy Law firm in Chicago even if you are above the median level. They will fight for you. We could not have had better representation. They are the best. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all of your hard work, efforts and dedication.

Tina Adams - friendly and knowledgeable
Tina Adams and her staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. I was very nervous to file Chapter 7 and Tina eased my anxiety and made the process very easy to get through.

Best Bankruptcy Attorney in the Chicago Area
I used Robert Adams & Associates. This law firm handled everything thoroughly and on time. If you have never been through a bankruptcy before; you don't realize how important it is to choose the right attorney. I told my brother, you need to use this firm. He did not listen and his attorney did nothing on time and he lost his truck. I had a friend recently lose her apartment building because (in another state) her bankruptcy attorney did not do her paperwork on time. You need a bankruptcy attorney who will get the job done and on time. This is the firm. I was told they are the best and THEY ARE!!! Don't judge by if they are on tv or not. They are not all the same...WHATEVER THE JOB IS, IF THIS FIRM SAYS THEY WILL TAKE CARE OF IT, THEY WILL. Whatever reason you need a bankruptcy attorney; you want it done correctly because if not, you pay the price not your attorney. The results and the outcome of the bankruptcy will effect your finances. These people that are abreast of the laws. They don't short cut. I did my homework to find out who was the best in the Chicago Area. They proved to me by the way they handled my case that they are.

Great experience during a bad time
Hi I am Rob I was a former client of Mr. Adams. I filed a chapter 7 bankruptcy back in 2011. My family was going through a very bad time financially so I went to see Mr Adams, and filed a bankruptcy with his firm. It was very easy and not as expensive as the other two lawyers who I went to see. The firm consultation was free, only money down they needed was court cost, and best of all they had low monthly payments. the entire process only took 4 months until I got a discharge. I had a great experience if I ever came into financial difficulty I would go see him again.

Great Experience
Hi I am a former client of Mr. Adams and it was a great experience quick and painless. I only actually had to go to the his office once. I did a chapter 7 back in 2011 I had way to much Medical & credit card debt. The bankruptcy wasn't that expensive, and his firm does monthly payments for attorney's fee's. I believe the entire process start to finish took 4 months to get a discharge. I went to his office for the free consultation and that took about an hour. I then stayed to do my credit counseling in his office which was another half hour. I was able to get my case filed the same day and walked out with all my paperwork I left his office feeling relief.

I am a former client I was very pleased with the service I received with this firm. They defiantly helped me through a terrible situation. They have payment plans and low money down. It's a family owned business which makes the employees much more sincere, and they fight for there clients.

Beat Bankruptcy Attorney in Town
I was a previous chapter 7 client of Mr. Adams back 2010. He and his staff really helped my wife and I when we at our toughest financial crises ever. I was nervous first going to see him and a little embarrassed, but a about twenty minutes after being there and finding out it's a family Law firm I wasn't. Bankruptcy and Foreclosure our common things now a days and many people who are very Rich have to do, and save Millions of dollars in debt. If rich people and huge corporations can do it so can any normal person. Don't get caught up in any of those infomercial about debt consolation it doesn't work believe me I tried. The experience with Mr. Adams office was very pleasant and simple, he got my case filed the same day I came in with a minimal money down compared to some of the other bankruptcy attorneys. Also they do monthly payment plans. My debt exceeded 30,000 grand and was wiped clean about four months after I originally came to see him. Great experience great attorney and staff.

A good lawyer to talk to
Two years ago I got very sick and was hospitalized. My health insurance paid a lot of the bills but not everything. I got hospitalized 2 more times. I missed a lot of work.
The last time I returned to work my boss said he could not keep me on and then laid me off.
It took a long time to get another job but at a lower salary.
Even though I always paid my bills on time I could not keep up. My credit cards eventually fell behind. They then raised the interest to over 39%. I simply could not pay them.
Last year I even got sued.
I was told that they could take money out of pay check for a very long time.
I called one of the law firms that advertise on TV. They were confusing but I made an appointment anyway.
When I met the lawyer he told me a lot of things I didn’t understand. He kept confusing me. He then he wanted $1,000 to get started on something. I left.
A friend of mine told me to call Robert Adams.
When I called a nice lady took down some information and transferred me Mr. Adams. I explained everything as best I could. He told me to bring certain things to the office. He emphasized that the consultation was free and confidential.
Mr. Adams was friendly and very helpful. He was very patient as I do not speak the best English. He took his time and explained everything. He told me about the filing fee and his fee and how it could be paid over time. He also said if my employer gets something to take money out of my pay he would file the case immediately.
I did file a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy. Everything went smoothly and now I am debt free.
If you have money problems I do think Robert Adams is a good lawyer to talk to.

Very Caring and Understanding Attorney
I came to Robert J. Adams & Associates a couple of years ago because I was in financial distress. Mr. Adams was very understanding to my financial needs. He took his time to explain to me the different chapters of bankruptcy. I felt embarrassed and ashamed about my situation and he assured me that everything would be okay. i would highly recommend Robert J. Adams to my co workers and family because he is truly a debtors attorney and he cares about his clients.
