Collection/Bankruptcy Litigation

Often securing a money judgment against a debtor is only the first step in “getting paid”.  Many times, creditors will face special challenges in the collection of a money judgment based upon a debtor’s filing of bankruptcy or a debtor’s actions to defraud his or her creditors by hiding or giving away assets.

The trial lawyers at Coughlin & Gerhart, L.L.P. represent individuals, businesses and lenders in all phases of judgment enforcement, including bankruptcy, judicial sales and foreclosure.  The U.S. Government and several banks use our firm to foreclose on mortgages which are in default.  Based upon our experience and knowledge of bankruptcy practice and procedure, we are also one of the few law firms which routinely represent lenders and other creditors before U.S. Bankruptcy Court.  If you have a collection or judgment enforcement problem, please contact us at 607-723-9511, 1-877-COUGHLIN or submit your case to one of our attorneys online for a free case evaluation.
