BANKRUPTCY, CREDITORS’ RIGHTS AND MORTGAGE LITIGATION


Bankruptcy

We represent a variety of creditors in bankruptcy cases. We also represent Chapter 11 debtors.  Our attorneys have experience at obtaining relief from the automatic stay, negotiating the terms for agreements for adequate protection and the use of cash collateral and obtaining the appropriate treatment of leases and executory contracts. In addition, we service our clients through negotiating terms for appropriate treatment in bankruptcy plans, litigating the determination of the dischargeability of debts, defending creditors against avoidance actions, and other actions necessary to assure that our bankruptcy case clients receive the best possible outcome.  

Insolvency / Financial Workouts 

We have extensive experience in structuring and advising both creditors and debtors in problem loan workouts, out-of-court creditor compositions, assignments for the benefit of creditors, and receiverships.

Creditors’ Rights 

Distinct from the bankruptcy services of the firm, our attorneys are skilled in all areas of creditors' rights. Clients include various financial institutions, insurance companies, leasing and finance companies, and other entities interested in preserving and enforcing their rights as creditors. Our attorneys routinely advise creditors regarding their rights and remedies under the Uniform Commercial Code, foreclosures and other types of recovery of real and personal property, secured transactions, and other areas of commercial law.

Mortgage Litigation 

We successfully handle routine and complex mortgage and real property litigation on behalf of lenders, servicers and investors. We are experienced in efficiently handling judicial foreclosures and suits on the note as well as more complicated wrongful foreclosure defenses, Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA) claims, fraud claims, unfair trade practices defenses, title disputes, REO contract disputes and bankruptcy litigation.
