Comprehensive Bankruptcy Representation
Crawford & von Keller represents creditors in a wide range of bankruptcy matters in Tennessee, including:

We have experience representing clients affected by Chapter 7, 11, and 13 bankruptcy. When a consumer files Chapter 7 bankruptcy, their unsecured debts are usually discharged in full. However, you maintain the right to challenge a borrower’s right to discharge their debt. You can also request payment from liquidated nonexempt assets.
When a business files Chapter 11 bankruptcy, there are generally sizable assets and a significant amount of debt at stake. Whether you are a commercial landlord, vendor, or service provider, we’ll monitor reorganization plans, advocate for your right to be paid, and object to proposed changes when necessary.
Chapter 13 bankruptcy allows borrowers to restructure their debt, but it still often results in the discharge of some or all unsecured debt. We help our clients by filing objections, monitoring plan compliance, and seeking payment via bankruptcy assets
Whether you’re seeking relief from a standard Chapter 7 bankruptcy or a more complex debt restructuring, we’re here to advocate for you in an area of law where creditors’ rights are often ignored. Call us at 803-790-2626 or contact us online to discuss your needs now.
