Creditor Representation Bankruptcy Attorney

Creditor Representation Bankruptcy 


Barnwell Whaley South Carolina creditor representation bankruptcy attorneys are experienced and knowledgeable in all areas of bankruptcy law and litigation, acting swiftly and efficiently to protect creditors’ rights with regard to collateral, claims and collections.

A debtor has filed bankruptcy, what can we do?

Understanding the complexities of the bankruptcy process can be daunting, but it is imperative that as a creditor you act quickly to protect your interests to obtain the maximum possible debt repayment. Barnwell Whaley’s Charleston creditor representation bankruptcy attorneys will work with you throughout the collections process and assist you in preserving your assets, restricting actions and/or waste by the debtor and securing the maximum repayment.

When a debtor files for bankruptcy, this triggers an automatic stay, which stops most collection efforts during the course of the debtor’s bankruptcy proceedings. It is important to understand how the automatic stay operates and, more importantly, what options are potentially available to obtain relief from that stay in the appropriate circumstances. Our creditor representation bankruptcy attorneys can guide you through this process and help creditors achieve the maximum permissible recovery. Every case is unique and the consequences for violating the automatic stay can be severe. A consultation with one of our attorneys can protect against costly mistakes while planning a successful plan of action.
