Attorney Joseph Coleman of Kane, Russell, Coleman & Logan (KRCL) has established a solid reputation as a skilled legal defender of creditors' rights--including foreclosures, collections and Claim and Delivery cases. His Firm, formed in 1992, is renowned as a mid-sized provider of high-quality legal services across the nation, focusing on the timely and cost-effective delivery of legal services, including:

• New Bankruptcy Laws
• Chapter 7 Bankruptcy
• Chapter 13 Bankruptcy
• Objections to Discharge
• Adversary Complaints

KRCL caters to clients who demand consistent high-level performance — whether during the critical stages of project development, the stresses of litigation, or the volatility of insolvency. The Firm's philosophy is to build long-term relationships by providing high-caliber legal representation in a cost-effective, client-responsive manner. The combination of large-firm experience and sophistication with smaller-firm agility and efficiency distinguishes KRCL from its competitors.

As of October 17, 2005, the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act took effect, enforcing tougher restrictions on debtors trying to file under Chapter 7 bankruptcy--making it easier for creditors to collect money that is owed to them. Attorney Joseph Coleman will advise you of your legal rights under the law, and will fight to keep your creditor collection rights protected in the future.

Typically, creditors get a bankruptcy notice and assume they have neither rights nor alternatives with respect to their claim against a debtor. However, creditors in bankruptcy are entitled to:

• Share in any distribution from the bankruptcy estate according to the priority of their claim. Most unsecured, non-wage claims come low in the priority scheme, and may receive little or nothing. 
• Be heard by the court in matters concerning the debtor's plan (in chapters 11, 12, and 13), the liquidation of the debtor's non-exempt assets, and payments from the assets of the estate.
• Challenge an individual debtor's right to a discharge or to discharge the creditor's particular debt.

Attorney Joseph Coleman, a founding director of the Firm, chairs KRCL’s Insolvency & Creditor Rights Section. He has substantial experience representing committees, suppliers, trade associations, financial institutions, real estate companies, trustees, examiners and debtors in a wide array of Chapter 11 litigation and other insolvency matters. He specializes in handling pre-bankruptcy workouts and restructurings, reorganization proceedings, adversary proceedings and virtually all aspects of bankruptcy and insolvency issues and related litigation.

"Our devotion to creative legal solutions has attracted a client base ranging from Fortune 500 corporations to small companies and high net worth individuals."
