When a person or corporation declares bankruptcy, any legal claims he or she had become an asset of the estate. In order to generate revenue for the estate and its creditors, vigorously pursuing the claims is critical — and may even be a duty of the trustee — but the claim may include risks of incurring legal fees without a positive verdict. For more than 65 years, the civil litigation attorneys of Spangenberg Shibley & Liber have handled complex legal disputes to help our clients protect their interests and recover their losses. We can pursue a claim on behalf of the estate — or the bankrupt party, if the estate abandons the claim — on a contingency-fee basis, and minimize or sometimes eliminate the risk of incurring fees without a recovery.
