Chula Vista Bankruptcy Litigation Attorney
Escondido Chapter 7, 13 Lawyer
Experience Matters in Bankruptcy Litigation
No matter how well they know the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or how many bankruptcies they've filed — most consumer bankruptcy attorneys are not courtroom lawyers. Because of that, most people who run into difficulties during the bankruptcy process also have to change lawyers in mid-course.
At the Law Offices of Mark Ankcorn, litigation experience is what truly sets our practice apart from others in this area. In fact, Mark Ankcorn practically lived inside of the courtroom for most of his 15-year career. In all, he has served as lead counsel in more than 100 trials and appeals.
This can benefit you in two important ways. First, you don't have to switch lawyers and go through a whole phase of trying to find someone you're comfortable with. Second, Mark's comfort level with judges and juries allows us to be more aggressive in protecting your interests earlier in the case, knowing that we have the experience and trial skills needed to back those positions up.
Our Bankruptcy Litigation Practice
Common types of Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy-related issues and disputes include:
- Accusations of misconduct or criminal fraud: Making major purchases, taking out unsecured personal loans or providing false information to the bankruptcy court can all be grounds for a "dischargeability" complaint. If these claims are found to have merit, those otherwise dischargeable debts cannot be wiped out. Criminal charges may be filed as well.
- Contested Chapter 13 plans: Chapter 13 reorganization plans form another common basis for bankruptcy litigation. In these situations, a creditor, a soon-to-be ex-spouse, a trustee or a bankruptcy court judge may question the fairness of your plan and challenge or reject it.
- Post-bankruptcy creditor harassment: Creditors don't always take no for an answer — even with debts that have been legally discharged in bankruptcy. If you are continuing to be harassed by a creditor after having gone through the bankruptcy process, they are in violation of federal law and we can pursue remedies against them in court.
