Legal Question in Bankruptcy in Illinois

Question is regarding corporate bankruptcy. A family member had a business, I worked for this company until it unfortunately could not substain itself and eventually went out of business. I in turn went and opened my own business, however a vendor who didn't have a contract fulfilled filed a lawsuit against my company and myself. I hired a corporate attorney to handle the case, the plaintiff attorney dragged this out 5 years before we could get our motion in. For obvious reasons I won the motion to dismiss, but at a heafty price. I was told I could not seek attorney cost because I was related, the Plaintiff had a reasonable suspicion. In the time this took place I was scared to really try and push my business forward and eventually due to attorney fees could not keep my business running and am now working a job, but still trying to pay what I can. I appreciate the work my attorney did on the case, but I have paid a lot of money and can no longer continue. Can I do a corporate bankruptcy for these cost without affecting myself personally?
