Background on Attorneys and the Firm

Brian Hart

I have been practicing bankruptcy law since 1992. The first several years of my legal career were spent with a number of larger law firms who cared more about billable hours than their clients. We pride ourselves on treating our clients with respect and dignity. My clients are my number one priority. As it says right on our reception area wall, "It's not about us, it's all about you."

John Carrozza

"We are so thrilled to have John on staff; his bankruptcy experience goes far beyond his years of practice. Having come from a large Chicago law firm he got exposure to all types of bankruptcy issues and was use to a heavy case load, but fortunately for us he wanted to give his clients one on one attention that he wasn't able to at his previous firm, hence I made him an offer." Brian Hart

John attended Chicago Kent Law School and graduated in 2000 and has been practicing bankruptcy law ever since.

Stacy Kramer

Stacy graduated from Chicago-Kent College of Law in 2007. Prior to joining Brian Hart Law Offices, she practiced family law and then gained bankruptcy experience by working for a large Chicago bankruptcy firm. Stacy appreciates the individual client interaction that a small law firm environment provides.

Meghan Bolte

Meghan graduated Magna Cum Laude from John Marshall Law School in May 2010. She was also a member of the John Marshall Law Review and was a John Marshall Distinguished Scholar. Ms. Bolte is a member of the American Bar Association, the Illinois Bar Association, and the Winnebago County Bar Association.

Philosophy

We are Attorneys and Educators

I believe a good attorney's job is split into two roles: attorney and educator. Providing affordable, quality legal representation is only half of the battle. First, we take the time to understand you as well as your current financial situation. Second, we evaluate and discuss all possible options including non-bankruptcy remedies. Third, we work together to decide what is in your individual best interest. We have found from our experience that our clients are less fearful of the bankruptcy process because they know what to expect. We will be there with you to explain every step of the way.

You Can Contact us Directly

It has always been a pet peeve of ours - when you call an attorney / business and have to go through a number of telephone prompts just to talk to a real person. We take a hands-on approach to the practice of law and make special effort to be easily accessible to our new and existing clients. There is a reason why we don't have voice mail. We want personal contact with our clients, not electronic barriers. At Brian Hart Law Offices a person answers our phones, not a machine.

"Experience Makes a Difference" Brian A. Hart

Brian A. Hart has been focusing on bankruptcy since 1992. You don't get that type of focus and experience in a small law firm very often. Mr. Hart served as the staff attorney for the Chapter 13 Bankruptcy Trustee for the Northern District of Illinois - Western Division. No one else in private practice can make this claim. Mr. Hart has been involved in thousands of cases.
