Waukegan Illinois Bankruptcy Lawyers & Attorneys

Jesse Barrientes: Well, our Waukegan viewers need to know that their life isn’t going to the dogs just because they filed a Chapter 7 bankruptcy. What it means is they’re taking responsibility. They are taking care of the problem and doing what they need to do in order to support their family or to have their family at a level that they can live on.

David Siegel: Yeah. To me it’s one of the most successful things a person can do who’s found themselves in this terrible financial situation. You can go from one day to the next, Jesse, from being heavily in debt to being debt free. That is a very liberal, gracious, caring law that we have under the federal bankruptcy laws. And it goes back to biblical days, too, so that you’re not constantly a slave to the lender. At some point, you know the day of Jubilee, you get a fresh start and you get to live your life again.

Jesse Barrientes: That’s right. Just so that you know, in the Old Testament there is never an indication that that actually happened, but that’s exactly biblically based.

David Siegel: Well, Jesse, thanks for joining me today.

Jesse Barrientes: Thank you Dave.
