Much like going to see a doctor, few clients want to have to call an attorney to help with a bankruptcy or insolvency matter. This is the case whether the debt issues are their own, or problems they are experiencing because a customer or other connection has sought relief in the bankruptcy courts. When you need such assistance, though, it is important to find someone experienced and trustworthy. Mr. Scott has been practicing in the bankruptcy courts of the Western District and Eastern District of Virginia for more than twenty years. He has represented businesses large and small in reorganizations and liquidations under chapters 11 and 7 of the Bankruptcy Code. He also represents individuals in “straight” bankruptcies under chapter 7, and in payment plans under chapter 13.
Mr. Scott also represents creditors in a variety of bankruptcy matters, including submitting proofs of claim, objections to plans, and representation of committees and other interest holders in large chapter 11 cases.
Mr. Scott also has experience in a host of bankruptcy litigation matters, including prosecution and defense of preference claims, fraudulent transfers, objections to dischargeability of debts, appointment of bankruptcy trustees and examiners, motions to convert, and contested plan matters.
In addition to matters in the bankruptcy court, Mr. Scott has also represented numerous clients in non-bankruptcy insolvency proceedings. He has served as a court-appointed receiver for several businesses in state court proceedings in Southwest Virginia. He has assisted multiple clients, both borrowers and lenders, in non-bankruptcy loan workouts.
Call Mr. Scott for a consultation on any bankruptcy or creditors’ rights matter.
