Connecticut Bankruptcy Litigation

Many lawsuits, called adversary proceedings and contested motions, are filed in connection with bankruptcy cases. These actions can arise from different issues such as objections to your receiving a discharge, exceptions from your discharge for particular debts, and recovery by the chapter 13, 11 or 12 debtor or the chapter 7 trustee of certain pre-bankruptcy payments to creditors or assets or property that was transferred by the debtor to others. Whether you are the debtor or the person to whom assets have been paid or transferred, your rights and risks in such bankruptcy litigation should be carefully analyzed by experienced bankruptcy counsel.
