The Impact of Bankruptcy on Judgment Enforcement
If you have won a judgment in civil litigation, but your opponent has filed a bankruptcy petition, you may still have options. The attorneys of Himmel & Bernstein, LLP can show you what they are.
Bankruptcy filings have a major impact on the ability to enforce judgments . The filing of a bankruptcy petition results in an automatic stay of any enforcement proceedings, and the ultimate disposition of a judgment debtor's assets may leave judgment creditors with little or no recovery.
Bankruptcy filings, however, are not necessarily a permanent barrier to recovery. We will seek to determine the validity of the bankruptcy petition. In some cases, if fraud has been committed by the debtor, the debts may not be dischargeable. We will conduct a thorough investigation and look for creative opportunities to recover monies.
We encourage you to contact us at 1-866-647-4248 or 1-917-934-3173 to learn more about your options for judgment collection in cases involving bankruptcy. Our attorneys are available to help people in New York and Florida, including the New York City metropolitan area, Westchester, Nassau, Suffolk, Long Island and upstate New York.
