Representation for Creditors: Creditor Rights
If you are a creditor seeking to collect a debt, there are special precautions you should take if a debtor may file for bankruptcy. If a debtor files bankruptcy and does not have sufficient assets to pay all creditors, it is critical to act quickly to preserve your rights. Perfecting liens may be a critical first step to protecting your creditor rights in the event of a bankruptcy filing. A lien makes a creditor a secured creditor, which increases the chances of receiving payment. Sellers of goods may have additional remedies available, but action must be taken promptly.
Our firm attempts to maximize a creditor's ability to collect on a claim. We have significant experience in helping businesses with the collection of debts and have represented clients in a diverse range of fields, including oil and gas, real estate, landlords and construction companies.
