Houston Commercial Litigation Attorneys
As a business owner, you put your financial neck on the line every time you extend credit to a customer. If your client goes out of business or files bankruptcy, you risk losing every dollar owed to you. U.S. bankruptcy laws are not so one-sided, however, that the creditor loses all rights. At Kerr, Hendershot & Cannon, we have a long history of standing up for the rights of business creditors seeking to protect themselves in bankruptcy filings.
Proof of Claims
Protecting your financial interests in a bankruptcy proceeding begins with filing a proof of claim. U.S. bankruptcy laws intentionally set multiple filing deadlines for various legal protections. Knowing the deadlines and getting the proper filing submitted on time is often the most complex component of effective creditor protection. If you fail to file a proof by the bar date set by the court, you will lose your right of claim forever.
We are proud to think of ourselves as the protectors of business-owners' rights. For more than 20 years, our team of business law attorneys has been helping thousands of corporate clients of all sizes and set-up configurations protect themselves against bankruptcy filings, breach of contracts and financial fraud and misrepresentation by debtors.
The sooner you talk to an experienced creditors' rights attorney, the better opportunity your business will have for filing a proof of claim and objections to a bankruptcy discharge.
We have experience with all aspects of creditors' rights in Texas bankruptcy courts, including:
- Proof of claims filing
- Objections to bankruptcy discharge
