Pennsylvania Bankruptcy Petitions and Claims

Whether you're considering filing for bankruptcy protection, or if you hold a claim against a debtor in bankruptcy under Chapter 7, Chapter 11, or Chapter 13, contact an attorney at Reilly, Wolfson, Sheffey, Schrum and Lundberg, LLP. With our experience and understanding of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, we provide high quality advice and representation to both debtors and creditors in both business and consumer cases.

Pennsylvania bankruptcy lawyer Paul C. Bametzreider, a partner with our firm, has 18 years of experience with advising debtors and creditors who have questions relating to insolvency, debt relief, or the enforcement of claims. He is a regular lecturer on bankruptcy and secured lending issues for the Pennsylvania Bankers Association, and also serves as a member of the Legal Services to the Public Committee of the Pennsylvania Bar Association. Mr. Bametzreider's thoroughly professional approach to the representation of his clients enables him to provide valuable insight into a wide range of bankruptcy problems for debtors and creditors alike.

For debtors facing such financial pressures as mortgage foreclosure, auto repossession, or the mounting burden of medical or credit card bills, we can let you know whether Chapter 7 bankruptcy or a Chapter 13 debt repayment plan will help you resolve your problems. We can show you how the automatic stay of bankruptcy can put a halt to virtually all current debt collection phone calls and legal proceedings, and also show you how to avoid future problems once you receive your Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 discharge.

We also file bankruptcy petitions on behalf of businesses with cash flow difficulties relating to poor market conditions, commercial lease problems, tax arrearages, or uninsured liability. Whether you need bankruptcy relief to sustain a period of reorganization with new partners or capital, or as a means of dissolving an unprofitable business, our firm can present your options clearly and help you achieve your goals.

If you or your company holds a substantial claim against a debtor in bankruptcy, or someone who is about to file a petition for bankruptcy relief, our experience with the proof and resolution of claims in bankruptcy can help you in such situations as the following:

• Filing a formal proof of claim
• Obtaining relief from the automatic stay to enforce a security interest
• Negotiating cash collateral agreements and adequate protection terms
• Claims involving unperformed contracts or unexpired leases
• Resolving disputes as to the priority of competing security interests
• Defending your claim against challenges such as preferences or perfection problems

Whether you need help in protecting your position in a bankruptcy case, or if you are considering filing for bankruptcy relief yourself, contact an experienced lawyer at Reilly, Wolfson, Sheffey, Schrum and Lundberg, LLP, in Lebanon, Pennsylvania.
