Bankruptcy and Creditors' Rights

Obtaining payment for services provided or goods delivered can be frustrating and confusing when you or your business are notified of a customer's or client's filing of a petition in bankruptcy. You may even be faced with a claim by the debtor in bankruptcy that you must pay back money received from them for up to 90 days prior to the filing of the bankruptcy. The attorneys at Nauman Smith are experienced in advising clients on the best course of action when faced with these and other related issues of bankruptcy and in protecting the rights of our clients. We stand ready to analyze the problems presented and to assist you in obtaining the best results possible. Whether it involves the filing of claims for payment, objecting to the confirmation of plans, discharge of debtor or debt issues, or resisting claims of preference payments asserted against you, we will work with you in formulating the best response to meet your goals. Our attorneys routinely represent businesses, financial institutions, financing entities and individuals in Chapter 7, 11, and 13 cases, and in the Bankruptcy Courts of all three districts of Pennsylvania. We can also work closely with our Business and Corporate, Tax and Litigation sections to offer the best solution to your needs.

Our firm also represents bank and financial institutions in related areas of creditors' rights, such as mortgage foreclosure, replevin and Truth in Lending actions. Throughout central Pennsylvania, we have assisted these organizations in successfully pursuing such claims in the state and federal courts.
