Creditor Rights

Sweeping changes to the Bankruptcy codebecame effective in the fall of 2005 creating a flurry of questions among Michigan creditors. Our creditor rights attorney has over twenty years' experience representing lenders, financial institutions, businesses and individuals allowing us to address a broad range of creditor-client needs. We provide proactive, effective and cost efficient creditor representation in all facets of this area of the law, including the following federal bankruptcy proceedings:
  • Chapter 7 business and individual liquidations
  • Chapter 11 business reorganizations
  • Chapter 13 individual payment plans
  • Adversary proceedings (on behalf of creditor plaintiffs and defendants)
We prepare claims, objections to plans, motions for adequate protection, relief from automatic stay or to dismiss or convert cases and other pleadings to obtain maximum protection and benefit for our clients. In adversary proceedings, we prepare complaints, answers to complaints, discovery pleadings and other pleadings necessary to achieve favorable results for our clients.

We represent both secured and unsecured creditor clients in bankruptcy courts throughout Michigan, including lessors and entities that have ownership interests in equipment, goods and other types of property; aggressively protecting our clients' interests, especially where collateral and property are at risk. We also represent creditors in federal and state courts throughout Michigan when the debtor has not filed for bankruptcy protection, including collection litigation, claim and delivery suits and foreclosure actions.
