Bankruptcy

We stake CLAIMS

The Bankruptcy Law Practice Group is dedicated to protecting and enforcing the rights, remedies, and security interests of creditors and trustees.

We assist both secured and unsecured creditors in maximizing their recovery in bankruptcy cases. Our attorneys are well-versed in preparing proofs of claim, filing motions for relief of automatic stay, defending preference claims, and pursuing non-dischargeability actions. We are often called upon to monitor cases in progress to ensure our clients’ interests are properly protected.

Bankruptcy trustees rely on us for assistance in the general administration of their cases. We track and analyze assets, uncover and document preferences, and work in tandem with trustees to develop and execute case strategies.

Our attorneys regularly represent clients in both the Western and Eastern Districts of Michigan. We are also a convenient, cost-effective resource for Michigan-based clients pursuing their interests in bankruptcy courts throughout the nation.

Attorneys in the Bankruptcy Practice Group leverage their bankruptcy experience with extensive business knowledge to assist our business attorneys as well. Together, we assist businesses with insolvency, reorganization, or the restructuring of debt through out-of-court workout agreements.
