HOW WE HAVE HELPED OUR CLIENTS
Health Care Provider Stays in Business after Other
Law Firms Said No Chance
A health care provider lost significant income as a result of
managed care. The company was behind on its payables and
owed more money to its bank that its assets were worth.
Through expert testimony we established a low liquidation
value for the assets and stripped the bank's lien in excess of
the asset valuation, making the bank a largely unsecured
creditor that was paid, along with all other creditors, 10 cents
on the dollar over several years. Had the company liquidated,
these creditors would have received nothing. Three other
bankruptcy firms turned this case down and advised the client
there was no chance of success. Back to top
Individual Gets More Time to Pay Taxes and a Lower Interest Rate
A wealthy individual owed approximately $400,000 in past-due
taxes. The IRS wished to levy on the client's retirement plan
(giving rise to further taxes) and would allow only one year
outside of bankruptcy for repayment. Through bankruptcy, we
obtained a repayment plan of six years at 6% interest with no
penalties, compared to the effective rate outside of bankruptcy
(interest and penalties) of 18%. Back to top
Roofing Supply Company to Stay Open, Pay Zero
Taxes for Several Years
An extremely profitable roofing supply company lost in litigation
and was hit with a large judgment. The creditor was about
to close down the company. The successful Chapter 11 case we
led provides 30% on the dollar to creditors (including the
judgment holder) over four years, equaling a write-off of 70%
of debt. Our careful bankruptcy planning will also allow the
company to use its Net Operating Loss to owe no income tax
for 2-3 years. Back to top
Home Saved from Foreclosure
Families sometimes face hard economic times. Our client had
lost his job and had difficulty finding a comparable job. He had
fallen behind on his home mortgage, accumulated significant
credit card debt, and faced the loss of his home through foreclosure.
Through a Chapter 13 filing, the client was able to
eliminate nearly all of his credit card debt and catch up on his
mortgage payments - saving his home. Back to top
