Our litigation practice consists of two primary elements. The first is bankruptcy litigation, typically involving the defense of avoidance actions. "Avoidance" actions are lawsuits brought by bankruptcy trustees against persons who received money, property, or some benefit from a debtor at some specified point before (and in some cases, after) the debtor files a bankruptcy case. The law allows a variety of transfers to be recovered by the bankruptcy trustee on the principal of fairness to all creditors. Thus, even if a debtor pays you an amount that you are legitimately owed, it is possible that the trustee can recover the funds you received. However, there are many defenses available to these avoidance actions. Our attorneys have litigated dozens of these actions from all sides.

The second element of our litigation practice is business litigation. This includes any type of litigation concerning financial transactions. We frequently represent both plaintiffs and defendants in foreclosures, debt collections, contract disputes, and more. We are licensed in both the state and federal courts. Furthermore, we have experience in litigating federal appeals before the Kansas and California District Courts and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.
