Lommen Abdo has an established, successful creditors’ rights practice. The law firm’s experienced litigators and aggressive attorneys provide for comprehensive handling of all matters. The attorneys litigate creditors’ rights actions in both state and federal courts and often obtain recoveries in situations other law firms find futile. The attorneys are well-versed in representing creditors in bankruptcy in Courts throughout the United States. We actively protect our client’s rights as secured or unsecured creditors in bankruptcy though an active motions practice, including motions for relief from the automatic stay, to compel administrative payment and claims resolutions. We also have considerable experience in the defense of preference actions, avoidance actions and other adversary proceedings. Where the need arises, our Creditors’ Rights attorneys can enlist the help of corporate attorneys, tax attorneys, employment attorneys, commercial litigators, or others in the firm whose area of expertise may help hasten the resolution of a collection lawsuit. In addition, the firm works with a network of local counsel throughout the United States, enabling Lommen Abdo to effectively represent creditors in most, if not all, United States jurisdictions.

Our section understands the audit process, the classification disputes, payroll distribution, independent contractor issues and the other elements essential to successfully resolving past due premium accounts.
