Bast Amron also has considerable experience in representing creditors in state and federal courts in matters such as enforcement of contracts, foreclosure of commercial mortgages, and collection of judgments. This expertise includes pre-judgment as well as post-judgment remedies, including garnishment, attachment, preliminary injunctions, and execution of judgments. Our lawyers are also skilled at unwinding fraudulent transfers and conducting investigations to locate and recover hidden assets.

Among the firm’s specialties is the representation of creditors and the enforcement of their rights. In the bankruptcy context, our most sophisticated clients retain us early, to advise and protect their interests before a bankruptcy has been commenced.  Once the case is filed, it is important to closely monitor the proceedings to ensure that any plan or order of the court does not adversely affect the rights of our creditor clients. If a creditor’s rights are implicated by a provision in a plan or motion, we will make the appropriate and timely objection. Our lawyers are well versed in bankruptcy law and procedure; we have a great deal of expertise in dealing with bankruptcy issues of all types, and we are familiar to, and work effectively with, the judges and trustees to provide our creditor clients with first-class representation in bankruptcy courts across the country.
