Bankruptcy Law
Bankruptcy law requires a broad range of business advisory and crisis management skills. Dickinson Wright can provide the experience, legal diligence, and commitment to excellence you need for your bankruptcy issues. We use a team-based approach to effectively address the wide range of issues arising in restructuring assets and liabilities of troubled companies as well as protecting clients dealing with troubled businesses.
One area Dickinson Wright works with clients on is with emergency bankruptcy filings. An emergency bankruptcy filing can be especially stressful to manage, either for an individual or a corporation. Emergency bankruptcy is necessary when a person needs to file bankruptcy right away to stop a foreclosure, repossession, eviction, tax levy, execution sale, or utility shut-off. Filing only a three-page petition is essentially an “emergency bankruptcy,” although the remaining forms and schedules must be completed and filed with the court within fifteen days of filing the emergency bankruptcy petition. The benefit of an emergency bankruptcy filing is it yields an automatic stay—a way to stop your creditors, to stop foreclosure, repossession, or other financial crises.
Dickinson Wright can help you with one of the biggest hurdles to an emergency bankruptcy filing—credit counseling. Our experienced bankruptcy attorneys will guarantee that you get the credit counseling you need in an efficient, effective, and empathetic manner.
