Meyers Roman’s Creditors’ Rights & Bankruptcy attorneys provide counsel to lenders and businesses across a wide range of industries, including manufacturing, professional services, real estate, and construction.

We aggressively represent creditors’ interests in bankruptcy litigation matters, such as defending preference claims, preparing proofs of claim, litigating adversary proceedings including objections to discharge, seeking relief from stay, and pursuing asset sales.

Our attorneys have worked on all sides of receivership matters and bankruptcy litigation, giving us a 360-degree appreciation for the issues our clients face in creditors’ rights and bankruptcy matters.
