  • A business debtor creates, with court oversight, a plan to reorganize and repay creditors while retaining control of their business. To emerge fresh from a Chapter 11 case may take a few years.

  • For an individual debtor who has “regular income” and within three to five years repays their debts; fulfillment of the repayment plan allows the debtor to keep most of their assets. Similar to the Chapter 11 process for businesses. Failure to repay jeopardizes the plan.

  • Lawsuits inside or related to a bankruptcy case. Where one objects to the dischargeability of a debt, claims fraud, how a debt is classified, or ownership of property or debt, a formal adversary proceeding (lawsuit) may be created to resolve these more complex matters.

  • This office is available to represent business creditors or creditors with claims that do not involve consumer debt. In particular, Camarillo bankruptcy attorney Ryan J. Casson is available to represent creditors requiring assistance with trust, estate, and tax issues in the bankruptcy of a trust beneficiary, other individual, or business entity debtor.
