Legal Question in Bankruptcy in Illinois

Currently I am involved in a lawsuit that I can no longer pay to have representation. I've had a few suggestions as far as how I should go about the remainder of the suit but one suggestion was to file for bankruptcy to get rid of any potential future judgment against me. It was brought to my attention that this may be an option but the lawsuit may not be dis chargeable by filing for bankruptcy. In Illinois, is this a potential route for me to take? What is my eligibility for bankruptcy? Really what are my options with this route?

You neglected to state what the nature of the lawsuit is. This is important, because some debts cannot be discharged in bankruptcy. Provided that the lawsuit in which you are involved is not in one of the non-discharge categories, bankruptcy might be an option for you. I offer a free consultation with no obligation. If you like, you can contact my office to set up an appointment.

Pretty much everything is dis-chargeable except for student loans, government fines, child support, non-sufficient fees at banks, back taxes(most of the time) and personal injury where some sort of malice was found. I offer free consultation as well, and I can come to you. I do payment plans if you are having trouble paying for attorney now I am sure this would be helpful. Not to mention I do not charge a lot because I have very little overhead of my own as I work out my home and meet clients at their homes or at a third party location. Please contact me for more information.
