CREDITOR RIGHTS
What we do
WEST VIRGINIA CREDITOR RIGHTS ATTORNEY
Bailes, Craig & Sellards, PLLC represents clients in various types of creditors’ issues, including foreclosure and collections. Businesses throughout West Virginia look to us for guidance and assistance when a debtor files for bankruptcy. When stakes are high, a creditor is urged to seek competent legal counsel. A creditor does not have to simply absorb loss without first seeking the opportunity to mitigate and minimize that loss. There are many avenues by which West Virginia creditors can recover partial or total amounts owed by clients who are filing Chapter 7, Chapter 11, Chapter 12 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy. The higher the stakes, the more worthwhile it is to examine all possible defenses.
Contact us to schedule a consultation regarding a pending or ongoing bankruptcy filed by a client-debtor. Assert your creditor rights in the face of the risk of total loss through a customer’s bankruptcy. Options may include the following:
- Chapter 11 Reorganization Cases
- Creditor Work
- Bankruptcy Related Litigation
- Commercial Collections
- Retail Collections
- Construction Collections
- Replevins
