BUSINESS AND COMMERCIAL LITIGATION.
We practice in the area of commercial and consumer debt collection, fraud litigation, breach of contract litigation,
debt collection defense, and unfair business practices litigation. Our approach is try to keep the client out of court,
practice preventive law, and to minimize costs. We represent both plaintiffs, defendants, individuals, and small
and medium size businesses. We pride ourselves in litigating fraud claims for victims of business, investment, or
transactional fraud. The firm represents individuals and businesses, where insurance companies will not provide
coverage or tender a defense. In our creditor collection practice, we prosecute lawsuits, complete judgment debtor
exams, obtain prejudgment writs of attachments, judgment liens on personal and real property, levies, and motions
affecting lien sales.
BANKRUPTCY AND INSOLVENCY.
Bankruptcy practice combines a blend of federal law, state law, and local rule practice. This area is highly specialized.
We have represented individual debtors and small businesses with serious debt issues for more than ten years. Debtors
have utilized our professional services to discharge debts in Chapter 7, protect homes, business assets and property
in Chapter 13, and reorganize businesses in Chapter 11. On the creditor side, we file motions for relief from the
automatic stay, negotiate stipulations for affecting cash collateral, file proof of claims, conduct 2004 examinations of
individual debtors and corporate officers and insiders. Our bankruptcy litigation practice is extensive. We litigate
preference actions, fraudulent transfer actions, objections to the dischargeability of debts, claim objection litigation,
objections to exemptions, and actions related to bankruptcy. We have achieved successful outcomes in bankruptcy
court ordered mediation.
