I have been practicing law since 1974. I am admitted to practice in Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, California, Florida and New York.

I have tried many cases before both juries and judges. I have tried every kind of case from murder to paternity, from civil rights to work injuries, from paternity cases to automobile accidents. My last jury verdict was $6.5 million in a birth injury case, and I won the appeal and collected another $1.2 million in interest for my client.

The Law Offices of Peter Francis Geraci does over 7,000 bankruptcies every year. Some of my clients have done 2 bankruptcies with me already.

Since my practice is now concentrated in bankruptcy work, the only other cases we handle are injury claims. We refer all other cases to competent lawyers who specialize in other areas. There is an advantage to concentrating in a particular area of law. In the bankruptcy area, we receive a book which contains recent cases and law which have just come out in the bankruptcy area. A lawyer who does not specialize could not possibly keep up with all the literature in a certain area. We do, and we have a lot of experience in consumer bankruptcy cases.

If you tell your lawyer everything, and fill out the attorney's forms completely, you can be sure of getting proper advice that will help you.

Your free phone mini-consultation on the phone is free. When you decide to file bankruptcy, you will need an appointment to meet with one of our attorneys in person.. The purpose is to look at your bills, your income, and your expenses, and give you your Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 alternatives. We will write down your alternatives, and write down what each will and will not do for you, and the relative cost of each.
