Bankruptcy Litigation and Adversary Proceedings

Law Office of Rick Morin, PC

Bankruptcy Litigation is Do or Die

Bankruptcy is an incredibly powerful tool because of this one reason: for debtors and creditors alike, bankruptcy provides finality. This means that litigation in the bankruptcy context is so critical. Missing a deadline, defaulting on a complaint, or failing to file an objection are critical errors that the courts have little authority to remedy.

Bankruptcy litigation moves at a fast pace unmatched in most federal courts. We provide aggressive representation to in the bankruptcy court and we aren’t afraid to roll up our sleeves and delve into complex bankruptcy litigation.

Easy or Complex, We’ve Got You Covered

Unlike many other bankruptcy firms, proudly take on bankruptcy litigation to ensure that both bankruptcy filers and creditors obtain all of the benefits to which they are entitled under the bankruptcy code.

Bankruptcy cases move fast, and bankruptcy litigation moves along even faster. And unlike other courts, it can be extremely difficult (and sometimes impossible) to obtain relief from missing many bankruptcy deadlines. In other words, do not delay finding an attorney.

Types of Adversary Proceedings We Handle

ENFORCE AUTOMATIC STAY / DISCHARGE INJUNCTION

We represent debtors that need to enforce the automatic stay and/or the discharge injunction. These important tools only mean something to the extent that a debtor is willing to enforce their rights by taking creditors to court for illegal conduct.

NON-DISCHARGEABILITY ACTIONS

Not all debts are created equal under the bankruptcy code. Some debts are automatically deemed non-dischargeable, while others require a legal proceeding to determine their discharge status. Miss a deadline here, and a debt will be deemed forever discharged. We represent both creditors and debtors in dischargeability adversary proceedings.

OBJECTIONS TO PLAN CONFIRMATION

Plan conformation binds non-debtors to terms that they would not normally be required to accept. Timely filing and litigating objections to confirmation can provide creditors with signifiant room to maneuver. Don’t be left with your hands tied by plan confirmation. Object early and object often.

RELIEF FROM THE AUTOMATIC STAY

The automatic stay is an iron-clad protection for debtors… until it isn’t. Savvy creditors know that there are multitude ways to convince a bankruptcy court to lift the automatic stay under appropriate circumstances. From enforcing the terms of a security agreement to going back to state court to liquidate a claim, the first step for a creditor is to seek relief from the stay.

Kristi G.Sacramento, CA

My husband and I are so thankful we had Rick handle our bankruptcy. He was by our side through the whole process and always was patient with us and explained everything along the way. He made a very stressful time in our lives easier.

Traci B.Rancho Cordova, CA

Mr. Morin is an upstanding attorney and I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of a good lawyer for a fast and effective victory. Not only was he kind, his entire office staff was as well. They all made it easy for me when it came to documentation and communication for my case…

Yvonne W.Sacramento, CA

I was hit with a bogus 10 cause civil action from a disgruntled former employer (an attorney). Rick was able to grasp the complexity of the case immediately. His knowledge of employment law was amazing, and he worked with me on every aspect of my case. He is ethical, pleasant, and sincere. My case was dragged out for two and a half years, and he got me a settlement for a fraction of what the other attorney was demanding. His fees are reasonable as well. I will not use anybody else if I need legal help…
