About Adriana
Adriana Cross built her legal foundation at Western Michigan University Cooley Law School, where she completed her Juris Doctor in 2011 after beginning studies in 2009. Her time in law school included classroom study and practical training common to modern legal education. Those years established the technical grounding she later applied in private practice.
She later established a practice in Illinois. Early work focused on general litigation and client counseling. Over time she narrowed her practice toward bankruptcy law, becoming certified to practice bankruptcy in the Northern District of Illinois. That certification formalized what had become a steady stream of matters involving consumer and small-business insolvency issues.
Her professional path has included operating under the name A Cross Law PLLC. The firm handles filings and courtroom appearances in federal bankruptcy proceedings and related state matters. Cases handled at the firm range from Chapter 7 consumer bankruptcies to Chapter 11 matters for smaller enterprises. She has handled case administration, creditor negotiations, plan confirmation, and debtor representation in contested and uncontested settings.
Cross holds active memberships in several professional organizations in Illinois. She is a member of the Chicago Bar Association, the State Bar of Illinois, the Illinois State Bar Association, and the Cook County Bar Association. Those memberships provide access to continuing legal education and local practice resources. They also connect her to peers who handle commercial litigation, real estate issues, and creditor-debtor disputes.
Across her career she has balanced courtroom work and client advising. She prepares petitions, attends hearings, and negotiates with creditors and trustees. She also assists clients in understanding the practical consequences of bankruptcy filings, from discharge eligibility to post-bankruptcy financial planning. The work requires attention to procedural detail and steady engagement with federal bankruptcy rules.
She maintains an office in Illinois through A Cross Law PLLC. The practice concentrates on bankruptcy representation in the Northern District of Illinois and related state-level matters. Her current practice centers on bankruptcy matters in the Northern District of Illinois.
