I am a paralegal at Geraci Law L.L.C. (the greatest consumer bankruptcy law firm that ever was or will be!) I talk to thousands of people who are struggling financially.

Struggling After the Holidays?

Geraci Law can help! See what Geraci Law clients say about their experience.

“Rodney and Lavita are amazing. I can actually see the light at the end of the tunnel I used to dread checking my mail everyday due to all the bills. I no longer have that fear because everything is handled. My Chapter 13 was the best thing I ever did and should have done it a long long time ago. This bankruptcy has made lots of things possible- we can help our kids now and were even able to buy a house! I cannot thank Geraci enough. The best part is that everything keeps getting better. If you are struggling call Geraci Law in Merrillville.”

“My lawyer Christine has been nothing short of great during this not so great time in my life. She has been very responsive to questions I provide her on the app, she has answered all of my questions in a timely matter, overall she has been very kind, helpful and informative during this process. I also had an opportunity to meet Mark Levine and he too was very helpful and informative with any questions I had. You hire some great people. Keep up the good work. Thank you.”

“We had our court hearing with Geraci Law after filing our case and everything went perfectly! We saw a hearing that occurred prior to ours with a different law firm that was a mess and it made us very happy that our hearing did not go like theirs and that Geraci Law had all of our paperwork in order. We worked with Attorney Joseph Blaha and had a very good experience.”

“I need to let you know how wonderful. Ricardo Gomez has been to help me in my situation. He is such a great asset to your office as well for the Hispanic community. He made me feel so comfortable and let me know there is light at the end of the tunnel. He is very professional and actually listened to me when sometimes you feel they are just hearing you. I thank you Ricardo for your help and this world needs more lawyers like yourself. Muchas gracias por todo.”

“Marc Afolter and Scott Greenwood were outstanding in providing me the best service at Geraci Law. I felt comfortable to ask any questions regarding my case. Also, the attorneys were very thorough in explaining to me the different types of bankruptcies available and helping me choose what would be best for me. The process was much easier than I thought it was be. Thank you so much Marc and Scott for your service.”

Stress Free with Geraci!

Many clients say they were worried or scared before calling a bankruptcy law firm. After speaking with Geraci Law attorneys and staff, clients say the stress is gone. See what Geraci Law clients say…

I worked with Marc Affolter and would recommend him to anyone! He took the time to walk through the entire process explaining each step along the way. Bankruptcy can be an overwhelming process, Marc made it clear and concise, while taking away the stress and burden that came from putting it off so long. I should have done it sooner! Marc was available by email and phone and responded promptly to my inquiries! Communication is definitely a priority to me, and Marc is stellar at this! He was accommodating with his schedule and stayed late to finish my filing. I strongly believe in the PFG LAW offices approach and the work of entire professional staff. Thank you Marc for a fresh start and new skills I am utilizing today to remain debt free! – Kim, Illinois

Geraci Law helped me so much. All of the attorneys and people I spoke with through email or phone was very pleasant and helpful. The process of filing for bankruptcy is a bit scary and stressful but they made things very simple for me. They definitely put my mind at ease. I would definitely recommend Geraci Law to others. – Ashlee, Illinois

They have helped me over come the stress that I have gone through trying too make ends meet with the financial debt that I was over come by. They made me feel that I was not alone that several people go through the same situation, and that by filing bankruptcy it will give me a fresh start to learn how to manage my finances better. I have taken the courses that were offered and got a better understanding on how my money was spent and how to manage my money in the future. I totally appreciate all they have done for me. – Lori, Wisconsin

See How Nice Geraci Law Staff is…

Geraci Law staff are probably the nicest people you will ever meet. See what Geraci Law clients say about how nice we are:

My husband and I just came from this office! Nathan was great! He sat with my husband and I for 2 1/2 hours and still had a smile on his face! And went step by step of the process, with detailed information. Plus I still had some concerns and questions, but was nice enough to still with us until all questions were answered and gave us great advice! Overall I would recommend them!

After struggling for months to make ends meet after moving across the country to take a new job, I made the difficult decision to file ch 13 bankruptcy. After seeing tons of commercials for PFG, I chose to use them to represent me. I am so glad I did!!! Biting the bullet and going down the bankruptcy path saved me from worse credit problems in the long run.   My attorney Lacey, and everyone else that I ever came in contact with during the past 5 years were so friendly, professional and helpful. It’s not an easy decision to declare bankruptcy, but everyone at PFG made the process as painless as possible. They’re always available for questions, help with problems, whatever you may need. I can’t recommend them enough! They truly are life savers.

Very helpful and nice people. They made the process a lot easier than I expected it to be.

I have been very satisfied with this law firm. When I had questions they were answered efficiently. They were always nice and friendly. I would recommend them to anyone who asks me. Thank you so much.

I feel as happy as the pig in the geico commercial with the pinwheel. Weee, atlast took back the weight, financial freedom at last, very kind and attentive.  very helpful and knowledgeable.  Joe Blaha and Christopher Holoyda are my new Favorite people.

New Year – Fresh Start

It’s a new year. Time for resolutions like eating better, going to the gym and of course better money management. It’s difficult to manage money when you are in debt. See what Geraci Law clients say about their fresh starts and their resolution to get out of debt.

Everyone was very friendly and outgoing. They were able to answer all of my questions and take care of everything I was looking to get out of my case. I would highly recommend them to anyone in the future and would go back to them if ever need be! Cannot go wrong with anyone who works for this company!!

This crew of attorneys was very comforting and informative! I was thankful to have access to communicate and get updates at any point in time. This was a significant decision in my life, but I’m very happy I choice PFG Law to work with and would definitely recommend them to anyone down the line! Thank you so much for making this a peaceful process!

Making this decision was one of the hardest things that I had done in my life. But after speaking to my attorney Mr. Hernandez it was one of the best things I could have done easiest process ever!! Worried free as soon as I walked out of the office any questions I had they were and have always been there to answer them. Highly recommend them!! Thank you to Mr. Hernandez, Nick and Ricardo have been of great help.

I loved their professionalism. Their efficiency. I could ask any question no matter how insignificant it was and they would answer it. I could walk into the office at any time and be able to speak to someone in person. I love the convenience of being to see how my case was doing just by going onto my online account. The convenience of text messaging with my lawyer. They were great with keeping me updated by texting me (since I told them I preferred that method of communication). Thank you Peter Francis Geraci Law Firm for the peace of mind. Liz at the Berwyn office great service!!!!

Debt-Free America

Why should consumer bankruptcy Attorney Peter Francis Geraci be Vice President?

Because many politicians do not know how to budget. PFG does! Geraci Law helped over 100,000 people get out of debt. Anyone can take debtor education online at www.pfged.com. PFG can teach YOU and Congress how to budget.

PFG says bankruptcy made America great. He wants to make America debt-free again! President Abraham Lincoln was a bankruptcy attorney. In 1842, Lincoln filed 73 bankruptcies in Springfield, IL (the highest volume of any attorney in town). Lincoln (like PFG) filed cases for no-money down. Lincoln (unlike PFG) accepted promises of firewood for payment.

Let’s get debt-free, America. PFG for VP 2016!
