Gino from Motorworld presented a nice chocolate cake to Peter Francis Geraci, captain of the “Geraci Olympic Debt Relief Team” on Monday. Geraci Law clients have been able to work with dealers like Motorworld when they need a nice newer Toyota with a factory warranty and low miles. Here’s what one client had to say about Geraci Law, she has been our Chapter 13 client since 2013:

 

AVVO review: AVVO reviewer ” I filed back in 2013. They’ve gone back to court for me several times to make sure my payments fit my budget. They even referred me to a great auto dealers when my car gave out. I’ve never felt like just another number to them.”

Jackson Park selected for old, library. Washington Park passed up. It is sad that President Obama passed up Washington Park. Chicago attorney Peter Francis Geraci says that “Geraci Law’s committed to having offices in the communities it serves”. One of the newest of Geraci Law’s 22 Chicagoland bankruptcy and injury offices is in the Harold Washington professional building at 5401 S. Wentworth, Chicago Illinois. This is the old grand Boulevard neighborhood, just west of Washington Park.

 

It costs almost $50,000 to renovate and occupy a 1300 square-foot office space. This is a substantial investment so that Geraci Law can provide quality legal services to underserved communities. Washington Park residents don’t have to go downtown for bankruptcy and injury counseling.

“It is not surprising”, Geraci said, that Obama selected Jackson Park, since that is the focus of the University of Chicago. Washington Park never had a chance, he said, but as development does come to Jackson Park, Washington Park will be far behind.

When Geraci law staff, at their downtown office at 55 E. Monroe, asked for standup desks, the firm’s founding member, Peter Francis Geraci, said, “We’re way ahead of you”.  Mr. Geraci had purchased four standup desks back in 2014, but staff was reluctant to use them. One day, a paralegal who is 6 foot four, decided that his back was bothering him, and went to one of the standup units that had up until this time been collecting dust. He liked it so much, that he spends half his time there now! Geraci Law also encourages everyone to get fit with the Blue Cross Blue Shield fitness program. Geraci law provides excellent benefits to everyone, the fitness program only costs $25 a month, and you get a membership to many different gyms including: LA fitness, planet fitness, snap fitness, anytime fitness, workout anytime, zip fitness, fitness 19, and blast fitness. 

Peter Francis Geraci clients are applying under www.Illinoishardesthit.org for up to 35,000 available through a five-year forgivable loan, if their income is been reduced 15%, and they meet other requirements. Mr. Geraci also encourages those whose homes are worth less than the mortgage, or what is called “underwater”, at www.IHDA.org, or calling 1-877-456-2656. Geraci said “If your home is underwater, but your mortgage is current for the last 12 months up to 50,000 may be available to reduce the mortgage balance.” National studies have shown that Chicago homeowners in the south suburbs are indeed, hardest hit, having as many as 50% of the housing worth less than the mortgage burden it carries. This is a valuable program to undo some of the frenzied lending that took advantage of lower income homeowners

Throughout the process the entire staff was courteous, professional, very helpful and answered all of my questions.

Thank you very much!!”

Stressed out by debt? So were these satisfied Geraci Law clients. Read their stories below.

“I was really going through a hard time and losing sleep and just at my wits end. The commercial came on and that was my deciding factor along with my daughter’s push. The firm has been around for many many years and I thought this place has got to be awesome with their long history. The lawyers who assisted me in person and through telephone contact were very patient and knowledgeable. I was very appreciative for all their help. I would highly recommend the Geraci Law Firm to anyone who needs debt relief. Thank for your services.”

“I have nothing but great things to say about Mr. Hernandez. My family is extremely grateful to have come across him for our lawyer. He was our main attorney throughout our case. Our case was a very complicated one and coming in I knew we would be faced with many difficulties. Mr. Hernandez’s breath of knowledge and determination made it possible to get past each one of the hurdles we came across. He put in a lot of time and effort in our case and always found a solution to the obstacles we encountered. It was a very stressful time for us, but with the help of Mr. Hernandez we were able to get through it successfully.”

Read some of the great things Geraci Law attorneys do for their clients below:

Milwaukee Geraci Law Attorney Felicia Petroff says, “Our clients were confused about when their vehicle lease ended and found themselves suddenly needing a replacement vehicle. Mr. is working and receiving treatment for service related PTSD out of state, so without a second car, Mrs. and their child would be without any transportation. Filed an emergency motion to get a car purchase approved, shortening the notice time so we could get approval as soon as possible so Mrs. and child will have transportation and Mr. won’t have to add to his stress worrying about his family in another state.”

Oak Park Geraci Law Attorney Andrew Nelson says, “Single mom came in stressed out because her employer keeps cutting her hours and she can’t afford to support her kids and pay her debt any longer. We discussed how we could help her with her situation to get debt free and worked out a good plan for her on the fees. She came back with her documents and funds and we filed her case and she said she felt much better and could now breathe a sigh of relief because she can feed her kids instead of struggling to pay her debt.”

Indianapolis Geraci Law Attorney Jennifer Asbury says, “Twenty three year old son lives with client. He went to school, but college closed after he attended, and his degree is practically worthless. Took out student loans to pay for school, and can’t afford to pay them now. Printed off paperwork for them to look into having the loans forgiven due to the school being closed. Extremely grateful, because looking forward to him being out of the house and being able to afford things on his own.”

When you hire an attorney for a Chapter 13 bankruptcy, you are hiring someone to represent you for the next 3-5 years. See what some Geraci Law clients say about their Chapter 13 experience with Geraci Law.

“I am at the tail end of my Chapter 13. For the last 4 1/2 years the Geraci firm and the lawyers I have dealt with (initially Wiley Mok and recently Ashley Chike) I feel have done an outstanding job representing me and making this as painless as possible. They were both professional and compassionate as to what I was going thru.  Questions were answered in detail and I was always made to feel at ease when done. I would highly recommend this firm and especially the two above mentioned lawyers when looking for representation. I am glad I did !”

–Don, Chicago

“I came to this firm for help and Megan Hayes was there to make everything stress-free for me.  She knew what she was doing and assisted me all the way.  It’s been 3 years but she never creased to keep in touch and always answered every time I had a question and assisted every time I needed assistance. She makes things easy and worry-free for me. She is excellent and highly recommended!”

-James, Round Lake Beach

“In October of 2011 I did something I never dreamed I would do – – Filed for Bankruptcy! Certainly not part of the future that I dreamed for myself, I was extremely stressed out and ashamed.  I always associated the name “Geraci” with Bankruptcy Law, and didn’t hesitate to contact them to represent me. How I thank God that I did!!  Immediately I felt comforted, protected. The Geraci Lawyers and Paralegals were so very respectful towards me that I started respecting myself again! They were a wealth of knowledge and my fear slipped away.  In January of 2012 my Bankruptcy was discharged, and I have worked hard to re-build my credit. I hope to soon become a Homeowner again!  Thank you, Geraci Law L.LC. for giving me the opportunity to have a 2nd chance!!”
