Some Interesting Results

(case numbers will be provided to referring counsel on request; numbers reflected below are approximations)

Chapter 7. Doctor was forced into a Chapter 7. He had filed a previous bankruptcy with other counsel and lost an objection to his discharge. This resulted in a final (res judicata) non-dischargeable judgment in the amount of $500,000. Issues were discovered by our office. We negotiated a settlement of $20,000.

Chapter 11. Unsecured creditor with claim for $1 million was scheduled to receive $30,000 from the unsecured creditors fund. We were able to obtain $400,000 for the client.

Chapter 7. Comerica Bank objected to the discharge of $400,000 owed by a dentist. Comerica Bank lost entirely.

Chapter 11. Famous seafood and steak house business threatened with failure and insolvency. Business saved.

Chapter 7. Lady who worked as a maid all of her life completed payments on a small home. But she gave a lien on her home to a gentleman who came to her front door and offered to do home improvements for long easy terms and massive interest. When she missed a payment, they added penalties and interest upon interest and attorneys fees and she could not make up the delinquent payment and make the next payment as well. Our office discovered an exception in the law that they had relied upon and we sued them in bankruptcy court. They never came to court. The bankruptcy court voided the lien on her house and she emerged free of debt and free of any encumbrance on her home.

Chapter 7. Our firm represented 1500 doctors in the massive bankruptcy of a "contributory" medical insurance company. Each doctor was liable to the bankruptcy estate for $3500 to $10,000. We settled all of our clients for 10% to 12% of their obligations.

"Going through something as personal as a bankruptcy forces an emotional reaction that one may not possibly be ready for.  In my case, it was a devastating admittance of failure that hit me as I sat there waiting for my hearing. The compassion and understanding that was present from Charles Chesnutt  while I went through this process is what helped me get through it and move on.  His personal care and involvement in every aspect of the lengthy procedure was supportive and helpful, which allowed me to have a complete understanding of the entire process.  I would recommend him and his team to anyone I know that needs this type of service and needs to come out of it with the same positive attitude that I did."

I am very fortunate to have been recommended to call Mr. Chesnutt by a Attorney friend of mine." (From a client)
