At Walker & Walker Law, we are committed to standing up for our clients, ensuring their rights are protected every step of the way. Today, we are excited to share a significant victory that showcases our dedication and expertise. This #WinWednesday, we celebrate our success in defending a client from a pro se creditor who continued to pursue them despite their bankruptcy filing.
BACKGROUND OF THE CASE
Our client had filed for bankruptcy, which should have provided them with relief from their creditors. However, a pro se creditor continued to pursue them, ignoring the protections granted by the bankruptcy filing. This creditor’s actions added unnecessary stress and complication to our client’s life, despite the clear legal protections in place.
OUR FIRM’S ACTION
Understanding the severity of the situation and the undue hardship it was causing our client, we knew immediate action was necessary. Here’s what we did:
- Proactive Engagement: We took the initiative to address the issue head-on. Recognizing the urgency, we arranged to attend an additional Zoom hearing in conciliation court without charging our client any extra fees.
- Legal Representation: At the hearing, we ensured that the conciliation court judge fully understood the supremacy of the bankruptcy protections over the conciliation court judgment. We made it clear that continuing to pursue our client violated the automatic stay under 11 U.S. Code § 362.
- Defending Client’s Rights: By representing our client at this hearing, we underscored the importance of the automatic stay and reinforced their right to be free from creditor harassment post-bankruptcy.
THE OUTCOME
Our decisive action led to a favorable outcome. The conciliation court judge recognized the authority of the bankruptcy protection, and the pro se creditor’s actions were halted. Our client’s rights were upheld, and they were granted the relief they deserved without any further hassle.
CONCLUSION
This case is a testament to our unwavering commitment to our clients. At Walker & Walker Law, we go above and beyond to ensure our clients receive the full benefits of their legal protections. This case highlights the power of having dedicated legal representation, especially when facing persistent creditors.
