Salt Lake City Bankruptcy Litigation Attorney
If you've filed for bankruptcy, you're looking for a fresh start. But a fresh start can be thwarted by incorrect filing, non-disclosure of assets and debts, failure to provide key financial information, bad pre-bankruptcy planning, the payment of the debts to "insiders," and other pre-bankruptcy actions. To minimize legal complications and post-bankruptcy lawsuits (called Adversary Proceedings), it is important to consult with an experienced bankruptcy lawyer.
At The Law Office of Paul Toscano, PC, we provide debt relief through bankruptcy and consider other options with you.
Reasons for Bankruptcy Litigation and Adversary Proceedings
Your bankruptcy trustee could have questions about your bankruptcy case, the assets in your bankruptcy estate, and the accuracy of the information provided in your bankruptcy schedules and statements, the completeness of your business records (even if your business did not file bankruptcy). These trustee concerns could lead to post-bankruptcy litigation.
The trustee in your case can also sue a third party for the return of non-exempt assets you might have given away or sold at discounted price prior to filing for bankruptcy. You could be facing bankruptcy litigation if:
- You've received a discharge in bankruptcy court within the previous eight years
- You've given "insider preference" to a particular creditor or sold non-exempt property at discount price to a friend or close relative prior to filing for bankruptcy
- You've failed to disclose certain valuable assets from your bankruptcy estate
- You're alleged to have violated certain bankruptcy rules
- A creditor files a motion for relief from the automatic stay to seize property you intended to retain
- A creditor objects to a discharge of the debt owed them
- Or, a party in interest seeks a denial or revocation of your discharge
As your legal counsel, we will help you develop a plan that fully discloses your financial status and works towards protecting you from future litigation.
The key to bankruptcy cases is honesty, accuracy, and full disclosure.
With a clear picture of your situation and your goals, attorney Paul Toscano can help you obtain a fresh start toward a better future.
