Creditor Bankruptcy

Experienced Creditor Bankruptcy Attorneys

For more than 20 years, the attorneys at Edwards & Taylor, LLC have been assisting their creditor clients in bankruptcy matters. Our firm understands the issues involved for a creditor in bankruptcy. Our experience allows us to accomplish our creditor clients’ goals in the most efficient and cost-effective manner possible.

Our creditor bankruptcy attorneys have experience under various chapters of the bankruptcy code including Chapter 7 liquidations, Chapter 11 reorganizations, Chapter 12 family farmer reorganizations, and Chapter 13 individual debt adjustment cases. We have also represented our creditor clients in loan workouts and complex settlement negotiations prior to or place of bankruptcy proceedings. In some instances, the creditor and the borrower are able to resolve the issues on a defaulted loan through a deed in lieu of foreclosure, restructure, or some other arrangement without the need for a bankruptcy filing. We can help our creditor clients document the workout arrangement and insure that appropriate provisions are included in the agreement.

Over the years, our creditor bankruptcy lawyers have represented our creditor clients in motion for relief from the automatic stay (also referred to as lift of stay) proceedings under Chapter 7, Chapter 11, Chapter 12 and Chapter 13. We have also handled confirmation hearings in reorganization bankruptcy cases, cash collateral matters, priority disputes, adversary proceedings, contested matters, nondischargeability actions and many other types of bankruptcy litigation. Our familiarity with the bankruptcy laws and rules, and the particular rules for the Colorado bankruptcy courts, allows us to approach a bankruptcy case and the issues presented in the case from a practical perspective, which experience is valuable to our creditor clients.

The creditor bankruptcy attorneys at Edwards & Taylor, LLC represent institutional lenders, commercial banks, independent banks, credit unions, agricultural lenders, automobile finance companies, commercial landlords and other creditors in bankruptcy proceedings in Colorado. We focus on providing our creditor clients with an excellent value by combining high quality representation with a practical approach to resolving the unique issues presented in bankruptcy.

Our expert creditor bankruptcy attorneys are recognized in their field and have lectured on various bankruptcy issues for banking organizations and legal groups. Past presentations include “The Automatic Stay in Bankruptcy” and an “Overview of the Bankruptcy Process.” Upcoming presentations will focus on loan workouts and the impact of bankruptcy on pending foreclosure actions.

Creditors may be interested in reviewing our article on Highlights of the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005. Under this Act, Congress made significant changes to the bankruptcy laws, affecting almost every area of bankruptcy. Significant changes were made in an attempt to discourage repeat bankruptcy filers. These changes are discussed in our article on The Bankruptcy Automatic Stay in Serial Filings. This article addresses the implications of the automatic stay in bankruptcy where a debtor has filed one or more bankruptcy cases within a year. The new law also changed the rules for qualification for Chapter 12 bankruptcy, which is typically known as a family farmer reorganization. Our article on Qualifications for Chapter 12 Bankruptcy reviews the new debt requirements and income requirements which must be met before a person can qualify as a family farmer under Chapter 12.
