BANKRUPTCY LITIGATION ATTORNEYS IN SEATTLE

Expert Legal Representation for Washington Bankruptcy Disputes

In many cases, individuals and businesses who file bankruptcy never need to enter the courtroom. But if a dispute arises between the debtor and a creditor or another involved party, the court will become involved and the issue will need to be litigated.

At Seattle Consumer Justice, our bankruptcy litigation lawyers can handle cases involving the following issues and more:

  • Automatic stay violations—in which a creditor attempts to collect your debt even though bankruptcy has triggered an automatic stay

  • Discharge violations—in which a creditor attempts to collect discharged debt

  • Proof of claim objections—in which the debtor or other involved party objects to a creditor’s claim

  • Quiet title actions—in which debtors with a previous bankruptcy discharge may claim that the statute of limitations has run on their mortgage

  • Second mortgage cram downs—in which a bankruptcy court reduces the principal of a loan to the value of the property

  • Post-bankruptcy mortgage debt collection—in which pre-petition creditors violate the FDCPA when attempting to collect mortgage debt (mortgage creditors fail to properly credit mortgage payments during bankruptcy and wrongly find debtors in default)

Many bankruptcy firms only take cases that will have very few issues or potential disputes. But we are not afraid to fight for our clients’ rights through whatever means necessary.

Here are just a few examples of what we have accomplished for our clients:

  • Proved that a second mortgage was time-barred (i.e. past the statute of limitations), thus overturning a bankruptcy adversary proceeding and eliminating the client’s obligation to pay their mortgage

  • Established a precedent for future Chapter 13 cases by discharging more than $25,000 in homeowners’ dues in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals

  • Secured compensation for a client who was sued and arrested by their car lender during bankruptcy (in violation of the automatic stay)

  • Achieved one of the only published decisions in the country that favored a borrower against a payday lender

In short, we are results-oriented problem-solvers, willing and able to develop the best possible solutions to unprecedented legal and financial issues.

Act Now to Safeguard Your Financial Future

Once you file bankruptcy, many of the judgments that creditors filed against you will no longer matter, because all they did was prove you owed a creditor a certain amount of debt. But some types of judgments may last through and beyond your bankruptcy.

More specifically, letting a creditor acquire a judgment against you may hinder or prevent you from discharging your debt in a future bankruptcy case. This will occur if the judgment demonstrates that your debt is non-dischargeable. Because one court is legally obligated to respect the previous decision of another court, this type of judgment will dictate your debt discharge (or lack thereof) in bankruptcy.

  • Fraud
  • Embezzlement
  • Larceny
  • Breach of fiduciary duty
  • ​Willful and malicious action toward a person or their property

Without further litigation, the bankruptcy court will accept the previous court’s evaluation of your debt.

Because of this risk, we highly recommend
getting into contact with us as soon as a creditor files suit against you—if not sooner. Even if you do not intend to fight the lawsuit, we can help you find out if the lawsuit could lead to a judgment that renders your debt non-dischargeable. You can then make a fully informed decision that protects your rights and positively affects your future.
