Bankruptcy is often seen as a way to resolve financial hardship, but it can also lead to legal battles—especially when creditors, debtors, or trustees dispute the terms of the filing. Whether you are a business owner seeking to recover debts or an individual defending your rights in bankruptcy court, having a seasoned litigation attorney is critical to protecting your financial interests.
At ASK LAW FIRM LLC, we represent both creditors and debtors in complex bankruptcy litigation throughout New Jersey. Our team is equipped to navigate the federal bankruptcy system and fight for fair outcomes in even the most contentious disputes.
What Is Bankruptcy Litigation?
Bankruptcy litigation refers to legal disputes that arise during the bankruptcy process. Unlike a standard filing where debt is discharged and assets are liquidated without challenge, litigation occurs when one party objects to an aspect of the case. These disputes are resolved in federal bankruptcy court and can significantly impact the outcome of the case.
Common Bankruptcy Litigation Issues Include:
- Adversary proceedings (fraudulent transfers, preference claims)
- Objections to discharge or dischargeability of certain debts
- Contested claims or creditor objections
- Valuation of assets or collateral
- Disputes over the automatic stay or relief from stay
- Litigation involving trustees, creditors, or business partners
These cases require not only knowledge of bankruptcy law but also civil litigation experience. Our attorneys provide both.
Creditors’ Rights in Bankruptcy
If you’re a creditor in a bankruptcy proceeding, it’s essential to act quickly and strategically to preserve your rights. We can help you:
- File and defend proofs of claim
- Challenge improper discharges
- Pursue non-dischargeable debts (such as fraud or willful misconduct)
- Object to reorganization plans that are not feasible or fair
- Initiate adversary proceedings to recover assets or contest preferences
We understand the challenges creditors face and work to maximize recovery while minimizing risk.
Debtor Representation in Contested Bankruptcies
For individuals and businesses filing for bankruptcy, litigation can be an unexpected complication. Creditors may dispute your exemptions, question your asset disclosures, or accuse you of fraudulent conduct. These allegations can jeopardize your entire case.
Our legal team will defend you against these claims, protect your rights under the Bankruptcy Code, and work to ensure your filing proceeds smoothly. We’ll also help you navigate any complex asset or business ownership issues that arise during the process.
