Understanding Your Options Before You Act

You cannot make the best decisions without a complete understanding of the process, the options, and the ramifications. Proper planning can help to prevent or minimize the massive disruption and investment of time, energy, and money involved in any financial restructuring. The time to address bankruptcy issues is before the start of the insolvency proceeding. The best way to prevent financial and legal problems is to prepare for them.

Our bankruptcy-related activities include advising secured and unsecured creditors and debtors with respect to their rights and obligations under state law and the Bankruptcy Code, as well as conducting litigation in the bankruptcy courts on a variety of matters, including the enforceability of rights under executory contracts and leases, obtaining administrative expense priorities, super priorities, liens, cross-collateralization under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code and claim objection contests.

An understanding and appreciation of all aspects of business and business law are fundamental to understanding the legal process of financial restructuring. Our business perspective is the foundation of CGA Law Firm’s unique culture. Our bankruptcy lawyers work regularly with our corporate and real estate attorneys in analyzing and drafting documents and structuring transactions in a work-out, as well as in a bankruptcy context.

“Larry was extremely helpful to me. When I walked in I was embarrassed that I was in the situation of not being able to pay my bills. Larry put me at ease right away. I felt comfortable that I was making the right decision. Truth be told, I don’t usually like lawyers. Larry changed all that for me. He had my best interest the whole way through. I would not hesitate to recommend him. Thanks for all your help!”

“Ethical and Compassionate. Through tragedy and error, people can find themselves in situations they never dreamed of. That was where I was when I contacted Atty. Brent Diefenderfer about helping me with my financial situation.. He was able to direct me to the best possible solution by listening to my story with compassion. He was able to use his knowledge of the law to help map out a plan and walked with me through the process of filing bankruptcy. He explained everything in detail and answered all my questions. I am confident that if any questions should arise in the future after my case is closed, he would still respond in a quickly and accurately to put my mind at ease. I would highly recommend him.”
