Based on Wonais Law’s work with Chicago-area clients, qualifying for Chapter 7 bankruptcy involves two main steps. First, your household income is compared to the median income for similar-sized households in Illinois—if you’re below that median, you generally qualify. If your income is above the median, the firm looks at whether your monthly income (after allowed expenses) could realistically pay back at least 25% of your unsecured debts like credit cards and medical bills.
Individuals and families in Chicago and Cook County facing financial hardship are encouraged to contact Wonais Law, LLC for a consultation.
