In addition to representing people in basic chapter 7 and chapter 13 bankruptcy cases, the Zaleski Law Firm represents clients in adversary proceedings. What is an adversary proceeding? It is a legal action filed against the debtor in a bankruptcy case which challenges the discharge of the debt for a particular reason. Not all bankruptcy lawyers in Madison Wisconsin will represent a client in an adversary proceeding. Such cases are often complex and require litigation or trial skills. Attorney Steven Zaleski has handled litigation since 1994. If the debtor succeeds in defending the adversary proceeding, the bankruptcy code provides for an award of attorneys fees if the the court finds that the creditor’s action was not substantially justified. The Zaleski Law Firm has collected attorneys fees on this very basis. If you live in the Madison Wisconsin area and need a bankruptcy lawyer who can defend you in an adversary proceeding give the Zaleski Law Firm a call.
