I drove the car away just fine, but the brakes still squeal just as loudly.

Any ideas on what the issue could be?
A lot of good advice herein, however and if you so wish, and in the lack of evidence of any recent service of note, take the car to a good garage and ask them to give you a price for a brake service, to include, disassembly, examining of the parts and replacing as required, if you can do it yourself then methodically carry out the work.
Does the handbrake hold the car well?.
