Litigation Attorney in Houston, Texas

Need Help in Court?

Filing for bankruptcy is not an easy process. It is difficult to admit that you are having financial trouble, and even more difficult to rebuild your life following the discharge. At Payne & Associates, our Houston bankruptcy lawyers do everything we can to make the process as stress-free as possible for our clients.

When Is Litigation Necessary?

Even after the most successful bankruptcy filings, some creditors will contest the discharge of your debts. At that point, it is critical that you work with an experienced attorney to get your past history fully removed from your credit report so you can get on with your new life.

Creditors may seek litigation if they:

• Believe that assets were hidden when filing bankruptcy

• Suspect fraudulent behavior

• Believe that debt was intentionally accumulated during a divorce

While these things may or may not be true, they can be difficult to contest. If a creditor tries to collect from one of our clients after the debts have been discharged in a bankruptcy filing, our lawyers will file a countersuit at no additional cost to our client. We believe that it is our job to see you through your bankruptcy case from the moment you retain us to any post-trial actions.
