Attorney Clark Miller presents Bankruptcy Tips for Trial Lawyers on Tuesday February 18, 2014 from 12:00 PM to 1:15 PM at the Community Justice Center-Home of MCBA Offices Trial lawyers must confront the fact that many of their clients (and opponents) may be currently, or recently, in financial difficulty. A bankruptcy filing-past or present--will raise questions about what litigation can now accomplish, and even about your being paid. While true in all litigation cases it is even more common in domestic cases since financial problems frequently arise upon marital separation. It is best to be forearmed in protecting your clients-and your own--interests by knowing the effects of a bankruptcy filing before it happens. A. First things first: Getting you paid. B. Addressing a Bankruptcy Filing: If it is already completed how does it affect you? C. Addressing a New Bankruptcy Filing: Entry of the Automatic Stay--what can proceed and what cannot? D. A monkey wrench in the works: bankruptcies and dissolution proceedings. E. Is Bankruptcy Always a Safe Haven? Planning ahead for shaky outcomes. F. Avoiding Second Trust Deeds: What are those lien strips Ive been hearing about? G. Dont forget home loan modifications (really not a BK issue).
