Bankruptcy and Asset Recovery

Bankruptcy

We represent virtually every type of creditor in bankruptcy court including lenders, material and service providers, business owners and others. The federal Bankruptcy Code is rivaled only by the tax code in its sheer complexity. We regularly appear before the United States Bankruptcy Courts for the Northern and Southern Districts of Mississippi representing our clients' best interests. In Chapter 13 individual reorganizations, we work to raise plan payments, challenge debtor's representations of value, and oppose inadequate or unacceptable arrangements for payment of our clients' claims. In Chapter 7 liquidations, we move quickly to protect our clients' collateral and to maximize the opportunities to obtain an enhanced priority position. In the typically more complex Chapter 11 reorganizations, we use our experience and resources to guard our clients' rights and ensure that they realize the best recovery possible.

Possessory Actions

We represent national, regional and local lenders and business owners in recovering collateral from their borrowers in default. We handle replevin and related possessory actions almost every day in courts across the state. The legal issues arising in possessory actions often require that we resolve bankruptcy, insurance, tort and real estate questions impacting these actions.
