Dallas Bankruptcy Attorney Richard G. Grant has over 22 years experience utilizing the Bankruptcy Code to solve debt and credit problems in Dallas, Texas.

Bankruptcy Attorney

Bankruptcy is a legal status of a person or other entity that cannot repay the debts it owes to creditors as such debts become due.  Bankruptcy can be initiated by the debtor or by its creditors.  See Involuntary Bankruptcy.  Bankruptcy is not the only legal status that an insolvent person or other entity may have, and the term bankruptcy is therefore not a synonym for insolvency.

The purpose of a Bankruptcy Attorney is to guide either a debtor or its creditors in the process of reaching a realization that debts are not going to be paid as they come due.  In the instance of individual bankruptcy, the bankruptcy attorney guides the debtor in completing the documents necessary to inform the bankruptcy court, trustee and creditors of the assets, liabilities and income of the debtor.  The bankruptcy attorney then takes the additional actions necessary to obtain a discharge of the unpaid debts and to give the debtor a fresh start.  In the instance of a business bankruptcy, the bankruptcy attorney guides management through similar steps, but steps that preserve the going concern value of the business and providing for a feasible method of payment to creditors in an amount greater than what the creditors would receive if the company were simply liquidated (unless there is ultimately no method of doing so, in which case, guiding the management through liquidation of the business assets and equitably distributing the same to creditors).

The Bankruptcy Attorney representing creditors advises the creditor to ensure the maximum recovery possible to the creditor, whether it takes the form of maximizing the business value so that distributions are maximized.  Alternatively, advising the creditor that management is dissipating assets and liquidation is maximizes total recovery to the creditor.

In all of these instances, it takes experience with handling the psychology of the debtor/creditor relationship and the maximization of value to serve clients the most effectively.
