When someone files for bankruptcy, his or her financial future may improve and become clearer. For a creditor, a business can be at stake by not being able to collect on a debt. The goal is to develop a strategic plan to achieve maximum recovery of the debt. That can come about through a variety of means, which include negotiations, alternative dispute resolution methods, or litigation when necessary. Our attorneys specialize in lift‑stay motions, obtaining post‑petition use and occupancy, and filing proofs of claims on behalf of landlords and lenders.

We provide representation to property owners and developers facing bankruptcy, as well, to help them safeguard their business interests. At HZLAW we also represent our clients at preference proceedings.
