BANKRUPTCY

We aggressively pursue collection of monies owed, regardless of whether a bankruptcy petition has been filed. Although we must work within the restrictions of bankruptcy law, the filing of a bankruptcy does not mean your claim is lost.  However, you must certainly takes steps to protect your interests. We provide basic services such as the filing of a proofs of claim, evaluation of bankruptcy schedules and attendance at Section 341 Meetings of Creditors.  However, this is just the start.  We aggressively analyze the debtor's exempt property and look for any avenue to continue the pursuit of your claim.  Our efforts often include motions to lift stay so that we might foreclose on the debtor's property, a challenge to the debtor's entitlement to a discharge by the bankruptcy court, or a request that we be authorized by the court to pursue claims against other parties to whom the debtor may have transferred their property prior to filing bankruptcy.

 

 

THE PROOF OF CLAIM is an official bankruptcy filing which must be made. Failure to timely file a proof of claim may effectively eliminate the claim.


RELIEF FROM AUTOMATIC STAY is available when the debtor is either willing to surrender the asset which secures the debt, or fails to make the necessary post-petition payments to continue to hold the asset.

REAFFIRMATION AGREEMENTS are prepared by counsel for the creditor and must be executed if the debtor wishes to keep property which secures a debt.

SPECIAL COUNSEL are attorneys retained by the bankruptcy trustee to  pursue collection of monies on behalf of the debtor's estate; often because the debtor either refused or did not have the necessary resources themselves.
