Bankruptcy is debt relief for many people who have excessive debt. It is also a way to modify mortgage loans, auto loans and other types of secured credit. Chapter 13 Bankruptcy is often used to save the family home. Chapter 13 is also used to refinance auto loans by reducing the interest rate, reducing the payment amount and extending the term of the loan.
1. STOP THE GARNISHMENT: All garnishments stop at the moment of filing a Chapter 13 Bankruptcy. Typically a chapter 13 plan payment is less than a garnishment and takes care of all of your debts comprehensively. Chapter 13 Bankruptcy usually requires as little as only the filing fee (currently $281) to file.

My husband and I used the Nelson Law Office for our Estate Planning and it was a fantastic experience. Fantastic might not be a word often associated with wills and trusts, but working with David was as stress-free of a process as I could imagine when dealing with something as personal as a will. David made it a smooth and anxiety-free process from beginning to end, making us feel heard, understood, and taken care of. You can trust David. I highly recommend David and the Nelson Law Office.

Dave Nelson of Nelson Law Office is an invaluable resource for all of your estate planning needs. He is incredibly knowledgable as to the multitude of factors that make up estate planning, but just as importantly, when you work with Dave you immediately can tell how much he cares about protecting you, your future, and his clients in general. Dave… frequently says that he is happy to be available to simply answer questions relating to estate planning. More important than that though, he actually means it. Both for myself, as well as my network, Dave has been a consistent source of information

I believe our society is great at celebrating new beginnings such as a wedding, a new baby or even a new job. However, we tend to struggle with celebrating long-term commitments. Estate planning is one of those long-term commitments that is not often talked about or celebrated.
Being a newly married millennial couple, my wife and I had never heard… of estate planning and did not understand the purpose or know if we even needed it. However, once we started to build a relationship with Dave and started to understand the magnitude and importance of estate planning, we decided to jump on board

Dave is INCREDIBLE! He really takes his time to explain every step of the process and makes it as easy and painless as possible. No one WANTS to be in a position where they need an attorney, but if you do, you definitely want someone who's knowledgeable and knows what they're doing. Dave always made himself available and broke everything down so it was easy for me to understand. And while I hope I don't end up in a position to need an attorney again, Dave would definitely be the first person I call.

I am not an Illinois resident, but I had some questions regarding my recently passed father's safe deposit box in Chicago. I did a quick search online and gave the office a call. David was kind, clear and incredibly helpful...even with the information that it was unlikely I would need his services. I definitely recommend him, and if I lived in Chicago, I would certainly hire him.

As a financial advisor, I discuss estate planning with every one of my clients. While I can speak to them about general ideas, having an estate planning attorney to refer them to regarding their specific needs and for execution of those needs is essential. I feel incredibly fortunate to know David so that I can send my clients to someone I know has the same ideals as I do. I feel confident that he will only make recommendations appropriate for that specific client. I also know that he will take the time to speak with each client about their needs and concerns.

I looked online for a bankruptcy attorney downtown Chicago and this is how I found David. I spoke to him on the phone and he was very nice. When I showed up for a consultation he was there and I didn't have to wait at all. He asked me some basic questions and asked me if he could run a credit check. He said he just wanted to get an idea how much debt I was in. He wasn't pushy at all and even said I could go home and think about it. I liked that he walked me through the whole process. He kept me up to date with everything. If you're looking for an amazing bankruptcy attorney then

My husband and I have known Dave for a few years now as he has helped us on various life situations!! He is super knowledgeable, down to earth, funny and just an all around great guy. He is honest, responsive & takes the time to explain everything to you. We just went through 2 real estate transactions recently at the same time and it was as easy as can be with him. Let's face it...legal issues are a scary thing, but he definitely makes you feel at ease the moment you sit down with him. Highly recommend!

David was recommended to me by a friend of mine, that happens to be an attorney. My friend's strong endorsement proved to be worthy because this man knows his stuff. Mr. Nelson guided me through my bankruptcy with counseling- and that made it easier to sleep at night. I would and have already recommended this outstanding gentleman's services to several friends that are having financial difficulties.

We had an excellent experience with NLO. Dave was responsive, courteous, and promptly responded to our questions and concerns (even on weekends). Most of all, he really took the time to explain the particulars of the transaction terms and the procedural issues so that we knew exactly what to expect at our closing.
I will certainly use NLO again when the time comes and would recommend them to anyone.

David is by far one of the best attorneys I have hired. He is extremely bright and organized and walked me through every detail of my case. He is very organized and his attention to detail is superb. He is a great counselor, and really set my mind at ease and made the process seamless. He is a MUST hire for legal needs.

I've known David and his professional staff for many years, and can tell you that they do an excellent job. They have a genuine concern for their clients, and go the extra mile. They are timely, have great communications skills, are results driven, at a price point which is reasonable. We recommend them highly.

So far David has been great. I decided to hire David as a result of Jen's review on this site, since I knew nothing about finding a bankruptcy lawyer. My case is still pending, but so far David has been very helpful and attentive. I know many people who have had bad experiences with attorneys, but David has not fit that mold. He returns my calls and inquiries in a timely manner and has been sure to help calm my nerves along the way about this stressful event in my life. I've already recommended another friend who has had a great experience thus far as well.
