Welcome to Skinner Law Firm
At Skinner Law Firm LLC, we have the financial, business and bankruptcy law experience to provide our clients with counsel and representation that is sensitive to the unique demands of each situation.
Bankruptcy law
Bankruptcy law is a complex, specialized field where numbers and formulas can be just as important as arcane subsections of the legal code. When your financial future is at stake, a generalist attorney or impersonal legal mill simply isn’t good enough.
Business Bankruptcy
When your business is threatened by financial distress, it’s often the business’ future — and not just its credit rating — that’s at stake. Paying your business’s debts can become complicated and seem impossible, but by developing creative methods such as cutting back spending and establishing a timeline for saving and spending, we will work with you to develop a plan.
But, when other mitigation efforts are unsuccessful, reorganization or liquidation under the Bankruptcy Code may be the only option. It is our job to ensure that a failing business does as little harm to both the business and its owners as possible.
Our staff believes that it is essential to carefully explain each step, choice and consequence of the bankruptcy process. Business bankruptcy is a difficult and complex situation, but Skinner Law Firm will provide you with the advice necessary to ensure that filing for bankruptcy is in fact the right decision for your business.
Business bankruptcy may delay or prevent lengthy and expensive litigation. Our goal for all of our business bankruptcy clients is to be in the court room for the least amount of time possible. Skinner Law Firm will make efforts to ensure healthy relationships with your creditors after filing for business bankruptcy. After all, our clients want their business to last – and so do we!
Careful analysis, thoughtful consultation and aggressive advocacy are required to ensure the filing of a bankruptcy case does not make a difficult financial situation even worse. Trust our staff with over 20 years of experience when it comes to handling your business bankruptcy needs and providing your business with a fresh start and future success. Call today to see what we can do for you.
Financial Workouts
If you find yourself in financial distress, your first step should be a detailed and thoughtful analysis of your options and goals. Before considering a bankruptcy filing, you owe it to yourself to consider alternatives that efficiently preserve or restore your financial health, dignity, credit and reputation.
At Skinner Law Firm, we undertake a thorough analysis of each client’s situation in search of creative methods to restructure and work through financial problems. With our deep business knowledge and extensive legal experience, we can provide the counseling and advocacy you need and deserve from your attorney.
It is essential to maintain a healthy relationship with creditors once your financial situation is settled so that you can rely on them in the future. It is our job at Skinner Law Firm to preserve the working relationship between you and your creditors and to ensure that everyone is satisfied and feels confident to proceed.
We will strive to prevent any lengthy and complex litigation by exploring all of your options for financial stability. Restoring and preserving your credit, dignity and reputation will not only help you feel more confident, but also provide a solid foundation on which you can build your future.
Skinner Law Firm’s attorneys will sit down with you and discuss each aspect of your goals and, together, we’ll develop a detailed plan to achieve them. Once the plan is established, we will work to settle your debts in an affordable manner.
Avoiding the complexities of bankruptcy is the overall goal of our attorneys and clients when producing a financial workout. We will capitalize on our years of experience to arrive at an outcome that resolves your financial troubles and satisfies all parties involved. Call Skinner Law Firm to learn how we can assist you with your financial situation.
Bankruptcy Litigation
An Experienced Specialist by Your Side
Litigation is always fraught with uncertainty, but bankruptcy litigation may add several layers of complexity to an already difficult situation. Financial documents, contract disputes, mortgage and security interest and other issues are simply outside the everyday experience of many non-bankruptcy lawyers. In addition, bankruptcy litigation frequently involves businesses and individuals for whom the stakes are critical and emotions are high.
At Skinner Law Firm LLC, we have many years of experience representing creditors, debtors, committees, trustees and other parties in complex bankruptcy litigation matters. Our attorneys will thoroughly explain any unfamiliar terms, conditions or consequences of bankruptcy litigation that are unique to your situation.
Skinner Law Firm provides assistance in a wide range of complex bankruptcy litigation matters including:
- Objections to discharge
- Objections to dischargeability of debt
- Subordination of claims
- Objections to allowance of claims
- Objections to confirmations of plans
- Avoidance of preferences
- Recovery of fraudulent conveyances
- Turnover proceedings
- State claims removed to bankruptcy court
If litigation cannot be avoided, you need an experienced specialist by your side. Call Skinner Law Firm today to discuss how we can make the best of a bad situation.
