John Ioakimidis

Experienced Bankruptcy Lawyer Handling Bankruptcy cases in the Chicago Metropolitan Area

I have been assisting people, families, and businesses in the greater Chicago area for over 25 years, helping them eliminate or reorganize millions of dollars in debt. The areas I serve include Cook, Lake, DuPage, McHenry, Kane, and Will Counties. My offices are located in Northwest Chicago and Des Plaines. I provide help with all kinds of debt, including foreclosures, credit card debts, car loans, personal loans, business loans, and personal guarantees. My clients can count on me to stand up to their creditors and help them move forward. I value each and every client and am always available to answer questions or address concerns. You can reach me by phone, text, or email, and my staff is always willing to help. To make things easier for clients, I offer evening and Saturday appointments. When you choose me as your attorney, you can trust that I have your best interests at heart, and you will be treated with respect and kindness throughout the entire process. 

As a legal professional, I am fully devoted to ensuring the success of my clients and constantly enhancing my legal expertise. I am proud to be affiliated with the American Bar Association and the Chicago Bar Association. My outstanding performance has been acknowledged by the National Trial Lawyers, who have named me one of the Top 100 Attorneys in Illinois. Additionally, I have received a superb rating from Avvo. I am privileged to have the opportunity to practice law in all Illinois state and federal courts, as well as before the United States Supreme Court.

If you're struggling to make ends meet or save your home, car, or business, know that I understand the stress and pressure from creditors can be overwhelming and harmful to your health. Don't give up hope, as state and federal law offer many options to help you. I can assist with negotiating with your creditors to find the best possible outcome for you. If your economic situation is more severe, filing for Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy may be necessary to restructure or eliminate your debt. Many clients worry that bankruptcy will leave a lasting stigma. However, the reality is that most debtors emerge from bankruptcy in a much better financial position, as they have erased a significant portion of their debts and their credit score has improved. Within a few months of completing bankruptcy, debtors often receive new credit card offers and regain access to credit. 

As a lawyer, it brings me great satisfaction to witness the joy and relief my clients experience when they finally eradicate or acknowledge their debts. It's heartening to see them start anew or rescue their family's home from foreclosure. Banks and finance companies don't have your best interests at heart when you're struggling financially. If they refuse to negotiate and resort to aggressive debt collection tactics, you have the right to file for bankruptcy under Article 1 of the United States Constitution to level the playing field. Chapter 7 and 13 bankruptcies are potent remedies for wiping out your debts and beginning afresh. Nothing is as effective as bankruptcy in dealing with unreasonable creditors.l skill and experience to advise a client which Chapter bankruptcy to file and what to expect after the case is filed.  I have represented over 700 clients over the last two decades with phenomenal results in Chicago, Cook, Lake, Will, DuPage, McHenry, and Kane counties. All my years of experience will make the process smooth and stress-free.  If I review your case and determine that you are eligible for bankruptcy relief, you can be assured that your case's outcome will be a success.

I treat my clients with utmost respect and dignity, as I would like to be treated. Throughout the entire process, I maintain close communication with you. My paralegals employ cutting-edge technology to assist me in preparing your documents, but your case is exclusively handled by me from start to finish. I keep you fully informed about the steps we need to take, and no decisions are made without your consent. With my legal expertise and support, you will regain control of your finances and feel empowered once again.

Personally, I was raised in a Greek-American community on the north side of Chicago. I attended Budlong Elementary School and Lane Tech High School, both of which are part of the Chicago Public Schools system. After completing high school, I pursued further education at Northeastern Illinois University, where I earned both a Bachelor's and a Master's degree in Political Science. Later on, I obtained my law degree (JD) from Western Michigan University Cooley Law School. Currently, I am happily married and have three young sons. I have a variety of interests, including politics, music composition, art, historical reading, and technology.

As your attorney, I can assure you that you will be in good hands. Dealing with creditors can be challenging and requires legal expertise and specific skills. Whether you need to negotiate with a credit card company, mortgage company, or business lender, your attorney must have the experience to achieve the best possible outcome.
