The calls, the threats, the court papers—when creditors turn up the pressure, every day can feel like a race against the clock. You need fast, strategic moves that protect your paycheck, your home, and your future.
At ASK Law Firm, we treat debtor litigation like chess: every move is deliberate, several steps ahead, and designed to secure your position. From stopping aggressive collection tactics to defending your discharge, our team brings courtroom experience, meticulous case-building, and local insight into the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Jersey.
Bankruptcy debtor litigation arises when disputes require a judge’s decision during or after a bankruptcy case. Common matters include:
Adversary proceedings (e.g., dischargeability challenges under §§ 523 and 727)
Automatic stay and discharge injunction violations
Motions for relief from stay and turnover actions
Preference and fraudulent transfer claims
Claim objections and plan confirmation disputes
Contempt and sanctions for creditor misconduct

Gather your documents. Loan agreements, statements, payment proofs, notices, texts/emails with collectors, and any wage-garnishment papers.

No fee unless you win. Consultations are free and we do not charge unless you win.
Once you file, the automatic stay typically stops most lawsuits and collection actions. If a creditor continues anyway, we can seek court relief, including sanctions and fees.
Certain debts can be challenged as nondischargeable under § 523 (e.g., alleged fraud). We analyze the facts, contest the creditor’s proof, negotiate when smart, and try the case if needed.
Post-discharge collection usually violates the discharge injunction. We can move for contempt, monetary sanctions, and corrective orders.
Many disputes resolve through motion practice or settlement. If testimony is required, we prepare you thoroughly and keep hearings as efficient as possible.
Yes. We evaluate risk, cost, and leverage, then negotiate settlements that protect your key interests—without giving away your discharge.
