We help creditors prepare and file proofs of claim and represent them in all proceedings before the court or trustee.
- Chapter 11 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy . We work with both debtors and creditors involved in reorganization proceedings under Chapter 11 or Chapter 13. We file petitions for debtors and proofs of claim for creditors. We also review proposed repayment plans to ensure your best interests are protected. We defend creditors against suits filed by bankruptcy trustees.
- Business collections . We help businesses collect unpaid obligations, prepare demand letters, locate debtors and assets, secure legal judgments and take all necessary action to enforce and collect on those judgments.
Our bankruptcy practice extends to Chapter 9 filings for government entities, such as cities, counties, towns and villages that face financial pressures and seek debt relief.
