Creditors' Rights in Bankruptcy

Creditors' rights attorney John M. Merritt, located in Atlanta, Georgia, has worked in the area of bankruptcy in various capacities for over 15 years. Employed for nine years as a deputy clerk in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Georgia, then hired as a law clerk for one year followed by several years in private practice, Mr. Merritt offers his clients a unique blend of knowledge and experience concerning the operations, functions and complexities of this area of law.

Bankruptcy and bankruptcy-related litigation drastically impacts and changes the economic relationship between the debtor and the creditor. When employed correctly, a proactive approach to bankruptcy, not a reactive one, can deliver significant reductions in bad debt as well as significant revenue recovery.

Hire an attorney with a keen eye for the issues involved, the rights of creditors and the complexities of the Bankruptcy Code, both before and after a bankruptcy filing occurs.
