Our bankruptcy fraud practice includes representing individuals and businesses facing allegations of misconduct during bankruptcy proceedings.
Bankruptcy fraud typically involves allegations of concealing assets, failing to disclose income, undervaluing assets, and making gifts and asset transfers immediately prior to or during bankruptcy, in order to secure a more favorable bankruptcy debt discharge. Conviction for bankruptcy fraud can invalidate your bankruptcy and provide options for your creditors to pursue debts that were previously discharged. In addition, declarations made to the bankruptcy court are made under oath. Willful false statements to the bankruptcy court can result in perjury charges. If your bankruptcy has resulted in bankruptcy fraud charges, or even just an investigation, you need an experienced lawyer to protect your rights.
Our attorneys have defended individuals in bankruptcy fraud charges arising out of Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcies. We regularly represent business clients facing bankruptcy fraud allegations arising out of Chapter 11 reorganizations. A finding of bankruptcy fraud can be even more financially devastating than a bankruptcy.
