California Creditor's Rights Attorney
OCTOBER 17 - NEW BANKRUPTCY LAWS TAKE EFFECT
For the swift, cost-effective recovery of business debts after a bankruptcy action
As a compliment to our collections practice, the Law Offices of James G. Schwartz also protects the rights of individuals and businesses seeking to recover funds or assets after a bankruptcy declaration by a partner, vendor or supplier. Our chief goal during a bankruptcy proceeding is to ensure that our client receives the money they are owed in the most cost-effective and timely manner possible.
Preference Actions
United States bankruptcy law allows for certain creditors to be paid before others during a bankruptcy in what is called a "preference action." A preference action can result in money that you have already been paid reverting back to the bankruptcy court in order to pay other creditors ahead of your claim. Since 1976 attorney James G. Schwartz has negotiated and litigated on behalf of clients seeking to retain funds or recover money during a preference action. Our success lies in the details: we are dedicated to ensuring that paperwork is properly prepared and filed and that all time deadlines are met throughout the claims process. We are also skilled at identifying fraud during a bankruptcy, including fraudulent conveyance.
A "fraudulent conveyance" is simply an attempt by a debtor to conceal assets in order to avoid their financial obligations upon filing a business bankruptcy. At the Law Offices of James G. Schwartz, we retain a network of financial analysts and forensic accountants who assist us in the careful investigation of bankruptcy claims in order to identify and prosecute fraudulent conveyances and recover the full amount of the claim. James G. Schwartz has also been a Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Trustee since 1976.
At the Law Offices of James G. Schwartz our success in the protection of creditor's rights involves immediate and aggressive intervention to avoid the unnecessary loss of property or funds. This includes filing for relief in the courts, including injunctions, restraining orders and writs of attachment to secure assets and protect our client's claim. In addition, our Alameda County bankruptcy lawyers offer pro-active business planning services for the drafting, review and implementation of legally sound agreements that protect your rights during a bankruptcy action.
