Adversary Proceedings in Bankruptcy

The Law Offices of Michael H. Raichelson represents consumers, small businesses, and creditors in adversary proceedings in bankruptcy. Adversary proceedings may be filed by the bankruptcy trustee or by other parties. For example, a creditor may file an adversary proceeding to object to the debtor's discharge, or a debtor may commence an adversary proceeding against a creditor as a response to a violation of the automatic stay. We represent both creditors and debtors in adversary proceedings.

Automatic Stays

The filing of a bankruptcy automatically stays most actions against the debtor or the debtor's property, such as foreclosures, lawsuits, or garnishments. Simply put, the stay stops these types of actions from going forward against the creditor. The stay, which is designed to preserve the debtor's property and to give the debtor a break from litigation, is neither absolute nor permanent.

Complex Litigation

Litigation of any type calls on a number of skills and traits. The finest representation depends greatly on the attorney’s intellect and diligence. It requires aggressive pursuit of client objectives and an understanding of the art of persuasion before different forums. When litigation can be characterized as "complex," all of these skills and traits remain vital to a successful outcome, but complex litigation typically requires additional skills and experience that many highly competent commercial litigators do not possess. At the Law Offices of Michael H. Raichelson, you can be assured of having access to the extensive experence and distinct skills needed to give you the highest quality representation in complex cases.
