Bankruptcy Law

Get the fresh start you deserve.

The traditional stigma of bankruptcy has faded. It has been replaced by the view that it is a fresh start after a time of trouble. Most bankruptcy debtors have experienced unexpected and extreme financial shock, such as that caused by sudden events such as job loss, inability to work, business failure, divorce, illness, or death of a loved one. In such cases, filing bankruptcy may be the right answer.

If you are behind on your mortgage payments and facing foreclosure, filing a bankruptcy case can instantly stop any foreclosure actions. Some bankruptcies can even eliminate judgments and second and third mortgages for pennies on the dollar. Furthermore, a bankruptcy case can prevent deficiency judgments if your home has already been sold at a foreclosure sale.

If you are behind on vehicle payments, certain bankruptcies can end the threat of repossession. You can use a bankruptcy repayment plan to catch up on vehicle payments or to pay off your vehicle over time.

Credit cards, pay day loan companies, medical and hospital bills, check cashing, and judgments are all forms of unsecured debt. A bankruptcy repayment plan enables you, potentially, to repay unsecured debt for as low 1% of the total. In other words, repay 1 penny for every dollar you owe!

A bankruptcy also has incredible solutions in addressing tax debt from any source, including the IRS, the Illinois Department of Revenue, as well as some county taxes.

Although Student loans are generally not a dischargeable debt, student loans can be placed in deferment for the life of your banruptcy plan. That's right, up to five years without paying! Furthermore, you and your children still have the ability to get new student loans and continue higher education since the debt is non-dischargeable.

Personal Injury Law

Bad things happen to good people; every day.

No matter how careful we try to be, accidents happen. Often times, these accidents lead to serious injury. Sometimes, these accidents lead to worse.

When you or a loved one are involved in a serious accident, your job is to recover. Your health comes first.

Our job is to fight for your right to full and fair compensation.

MSF Law is committed to representing individuals and their loved ones who have been seriously injured in an accident. These types of cases fall under the broad legal categories of Personal Injury and Wrongful Death.

When injured in an accident, it is important to seek the advice of an attorney promptly. Otherwise, there could be important admissible evidence that is lost due to time. Furthermore, insurance companies are notorious for not paying you what you are owed.

If the day comes where you need a Personal Injury or Wrongful Death attorney, MSF Law can help. Not only will we take the stress out of your situation, but we will put you in the best possible position to look forward to the future.

If you, or someone you know has suffered bodily harm or loss of life as a result of the negligent or reckless conduct of others, MSF Law would be honored to consult with you about your situation.

Criminal Law

Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.

Being accused of a crime can be a frustrating, often frightening experience. You may be facing the possibility of heavy fines, jail time, or irreparable damage to your reputation. You may be facing the loss of driving privileges or the loss of a professional license. You may be unsure of where to go next, or where to turn for help.

Given the consequences that a criminal conviction can bring, it is imperative to have a strong legal defense, and a dedicated attorney with you every step of the way. A good criminal defense attorney may be able to reduce the charges against you or the penalties you are facing. You may even have the charges against you dropped altogether.

If you are arrested in Illinois, you need aggressive, immediate representation. In and out of the courtroom, MSF law promises to aggressively defend individuals who have been charged with crimes in the State of Illinois. We understand how important it is to avoid a criminal conviction. We also understand the pressure that even minor charges cause on an individual's life.

MSF law utilizes the services of investigators, experts, and specialists to analyze the evidence, and prepare and present your defense. Most importantly, we keep you informed every step of the way.

Family Law

Family is not an important thing. It's Everything.

The practice of Family Law focuses on the relationships between family members. This includes children, parents, husbands, wives, and domestic partners.

The majority of Family Law cases come as a result of the termination of a marriage or romantic relationship. These cases can become extremely complex when large assents are involved.

Many times, it is much more important than who gets what car, or who gets how much money. Often, your children are involved. Whenever a child is involved, the practice of family law can become very emotional, very quickly. As they should be, parents are extremely concerned with the safety, health, and education of their children.

When emotions run high, family law matters can become highly contested. You need someone with compassion and the will to never stop fighting for what you want. MSF Law is here to make sure your family's best interests are put first. MSF Law can work with you and your family to resolve your case fairly.

Not only will our office fight for you in court, but we will help with the investigation, preparation, negotiation, arbitration, mediation, and trial of cases which cannot be resolved by agreement.
