Pre- and Post-Bankruptcy Claims Objections

We defend our clients in matters relating to pre- and post-bankruptcy objections to claims. We devote significant time to defending objections to our clients' proofs of claim.

Representative matters include:

• Represented many entities established to own and/or operate commercial real estate in Chapter 11 cases over the U.S.. They include a limited partnership which owned five hotels on the East coast with $60 million in debt (plan confirmed); a partnership which owned a large office tower just outside of Denver, Colorado (plan confirmed); and a chain of several spa-type businesses in Southern California also in Chapter 11.

• Defended a corporate creditor client against claims of unauthorized withdrawals and breach of automatic stay in a large series of casino bankruptcies post-petition filed in Nevada. Achieved a $35,000-plus savings on our client's alleged accrued liability to the Debtor. Effectuated a complex workout that provided the client with an additional $245,000-plus claim against two of the seven Debtors.

• In a large Chapter 11 bankruptcy case filed in Delaware, we represented a corporate creditor client in a case involving an objection to various proofs of claim. Secured a significant allowed claim for our client by successfully defending the client's claim against the trustee's objection.

• Recovered nearly $500,000 for a creditor client on its administrative claim in a bitterly contested summary judgment action and subsequent mediation.
