Who Your Lawyer Is, DOES Make a Difference

Geraci Law founder Peter Francis Geraci likes to say “Why pay the same and not get the name?”  Even worse, why THINK you’re paying an attorney to protect you, but end up losing your home or other asset?

Remember, creditors look at your bankruptcy petition, and so does the United States Trustee and their minions.  An attorney representing creditors scrutinizes your Chapter 7 or 13 petition, looking for assets they can take, or money they can get you to pay creditors.

Geraci Law Attorney Nathan E. Curtis recently defeated a Chapter 7 trustee in one case, and a Chapter 13 trustee in another. In Will County, Illinois, the Chapter 7 trustee wanted to take $12,000.00 the Geraci clients had claimed exempt as funds from the sale of their home, because Illinois law says the “homestead” exemption is only good for a year.  Attorney Curtis pointed out to the Court that, since the Chapter 7 was filed within a year of receiving the sale proceeds, the Trustee could not claim it by holding the Chapter 7 case open and waiting a year to object.  This saved the Debtors $12,000.00.

In the Chapter 13 case, Geraci Law attorney Nathan Curtis defeated the claim of the Chapter 13 trustee that life insurance proceeds of $50,000 were “disposable income” that had to be paid to creditors. Attorney Curtis pointed out that only “current monthly income”, not a one-time payment, much less a life insurance payment that is exempt from creditors, may be required to be used to pay creditors.  The Bankruptcy Judge agreed, and Geraci Law saved the widow from having to use life insurance to pay creditors.
