While most bankruptcy cases progress smoothly and without incident, in certain cases an angry creditor, interested bankruptcy trustee, or the Office of the United States Trustee may initiate a lawsuit or legal claim against you. A lawsuit in bankruptcy usually seeks to force you to pay money, forgo assets or to dismiss or modify your bankruptcy case.
Attorney Bankruptcy Services provides aggressive representation to debtor clients in all aspects of bankruptcy litigation. Over the years, we have represented clients in numerous bankruptcy litigation matters. Such bankruptcy litigation, includes lawsuits, motions and other legal action undertaken by a bankruptcy creditor, trustee and/or U.S. Trustee’s for:
Fraud or other creditor lawsuits;
- Property and exemption disputes (including home valuations disputes);
- Debt dischargeability actions;
- “Substantial abuse” cases by a creditor, the bankruptcy trustee, or United States Trustee under 11 U.S.C. 707(b);
In order to avoid bankruptcy litigation, be careful to fully and accurately disclose all information requested by us prior to your bankruptcy filing. Careful planning and strategic pre-bankruptcy decision-making most often avoids needless bankruptcy litigation.
However, if your trustee is threatening to seize your assets or a creditor has initiated a lawsuit against you, we can assist you in understanding your legal rights and provide you with a realistic assessment of your case. Our fee structure is reasonable and fully explained to you prior to our involvement in your case. We also offer flat-fee fee options for those clients who wish to avoid the hourly billing structure.
If you are facing bankruptcy litigation, you are likely working against strict timelines for responding to a lawsuit or motion. If you fail to respond to motions and/or lawsuits in your bankruptcy case, monetary and other relief can be entered against you without further notice to you.
