| Attorneys are not known for their charity, most attorneys charge high fees for their legal work, especially for bankruptcy filing. But most Chicago attorneys also perform "pro bono" work - that's Latin for FREE. Pro Bono work is meant to assist the indigent or less fortunate members of our society.
Check for local legal aid societies in Chicago and contact local law firms to see if they offer free bankruptcy filings. It's not something that they usually advertise, so you need to contact them.
It is also possible to file for bankruptcy yourself without using an attorney. Many ordinary people do it evary day. The bankruptcy forms are available online.
Below are some attorneys in your area that may be able to help:
