Representation in Bankruptcy Proceedings

It is not infrequent that a debt collection matter will at some stage involve proceedings in the United States Bankruptcy Court. When a petition is filed by a debtor with the Bankruptcy Court, creditors must immediately suspend all attempts to collect unpaid debts. However, creditors may still be able to recover some or even all of the debt. We have extensive experience assisting creditors in Bankruptcy Court proceedings, including adversary proceedings seeking a determination of the dischargeability of debts, which is possible in cases of fraud in other circumstances, and the defense of preference actions filed against creditors.

If a bankruptcy filing has suspended your efforts to collect a debt owed to you or your business, an experienced lawyer can help. Contact attorney Bernard D'Orazio, in New York, New York, to schedule an appointment. We can help protect your rights as a creditor.
