Practice Areas of Chicago Bankruptcy Lawyer
Consumer (Personal) Bankruptcy
While you may be facing a particularly difficult situation and are thinking about filing bankruptcy, know that you are not alone. I am here to help individuals and small businesses deal with Chapter 7 debt relief, Chapter 11 debt reorganization and Chapter 13 debt repayment.
Business Bankruptcy
Many people think going bankrupt is going bankrupt – it’s all the same. The bottom line is roughly the same in most circumstances, but the way to get there varies from case to case.
If your business is in serious financial trouble what do you have to take into consideration before you declare bankruptcy? And is it the right decision for you?
Collection Law
Collection legal service is fairly straightforward. Someone owes you money and, for whatever reason, you have not been able to collect it. That is where The Law Office of Jay F. Fortier, P.C. comes to bat for you. Give us a call, we have some of the most reasonable rates in the Chicago area and our service is prompt, skilled and aggressive. We can produce results.
Real Estate Law
Buying and selling real estate is often an exciting and enjoyable event in peopleís lives. It is also usually one of the most significant financial transactions that families and individuals make in their entire lives and the choices that are made now regarding real estate may have a very significant impact on personal finances for years to come. Therefore, it is important that those who are involved in these transactions be informed. At The Law Office of Jay F. Fortier, P.C. we are very familiar with the process and make sure that you are fully aware of every step so that you can make informed decisions.
Real Estate Brokerage
Jay Fortier is an associate real estate broker with Sky High Real Estate, INC. He is a licensed REALTOR™. Sky High serves all of Illinois with quality and experienced service in the areas of residential and commercial real estate. Although Jay Fortier works with both buyers and sellers he does not accept duel agency and will limit his practice to representing only one side of a particular transaction at a time. We feel that this will minimize suspicion and the potential for conflict of interest. Also, please keep in mind that Jay Fortier cannot represent you as your closing attorney if he is already your agent for the purpose of purchasing or selling real estate.
Criminal Defense
Certainly one of, if not the worst, experience that you can have with the courts and the legal system occurs if you are unfortunate enough to be arrested and charged with a crime. The Law Office of Jay F. Fortier, P.C. provides aggressive legal representation in the area of criminal defense. We have the ability to identify and peruse all potential defenses and to safeguard your constitutional rights. The legal system provides these rights and safeguards because, although society needs laws for the protection of its citizens, many people have been and continue to be wrongfully accused and convicted.
Estate Planning
Few people like to dwell on estate planning because it involves planning for death. Death isn’t a topic a lot of people are comfortable discussing. At The Law Office of Jay F. Fortier, P.C. we understand how you feel, and work to make this necessary and sometimes unpleasant task easy to understand and as easy as possible to implement when the time comes.
Health Insurance
The extreme cost of quality healthcare and the fact that the government and many employers do not provide adequate assistance means that private health insurance is a necessity for many. Jay Fortier is an independent health insurance agent. He can help you choose between the many choices offered by two of the largest and most respected health insurers.
Divorce and Family Law
The Law Office of Jay F. Fortier, P.C. provides quality legal service in the areas of divorce and child custody and support. The decision of whether or not to file for a divorce is one of the toughest decisions that you may ever have to face in life. There are concerns over how it will affect children and family finances, to name a few.
Investment Advice
Jay’s financial advisory and legal background give him unique insight into the many legal and tax issues that surround estate and financial planning. Other financial advisors may lack this perspective. Although his services would obviously benefit affluent and wealthy individuals, as well as business entities and non-profit organizations, Jay offers personal service and dedication to all of his clients regardless of the size of their account.
