You can file for bankruptcy, assuming you qualify for it. Depending on the circumstances, however, this may or may not get you any relief with respect to the lawsuits. A bankruptcy can delay a concurrent case, but it generally does not get rid of a concurrent case.

The right to the trademark may have been sold by the bankruptcy trustee or as a part of the liquidation of the business. But probably not.

Yes, but you probably are not eligible for a discharge.
answered on Sep 8, 2015
Generally you can't. A power of attorney doesn't enable you to act as someone's attorney at law and an attorney AT LAW is the only one who can file documents in court for other people. A power of attorney authorizes the holder of the POW to act as an attorney IN FACT. There is a... View More

I filed for bankruptcy in June of last year. I checked that I would like to reaffirm my lease. The company stated they never received notice until after it was discharged. I have been paying but my credit shows an outstanding balance which is not going down. If I decided to give the car back now... View More

First, you do not reaffirm a lease or any other type of executory contract. Instead you assume the lease, which is a type of executory contract. The bankruptcy code states that to assume a consumer executory contract, you simply must send a letter to the lessor stating that you are assuming the... View More
I need my ex-wife to clear a judgement lien from my house but she won't if it resets the waiting period until the date she can borrow more money.
answered on Aug 23, 2015
The reopening of a case does not change the date of the filing of the bankruptcy nor does it change the discharge date. Your ex-wife's problem with her credit is much greater than a 2011 bankruptcy. I have clients that follow my advice that have a credit score in the high 600s (675 to 680)... View More

I am filing bankruptcy and the forms ask whether each debt I list is disputed. What does that mean?

That issue would be a very simple concept for an attorney. If you are having problems... View More

My bankruptcy was discharged in 2012 and I am on my feet and want to start looking for a house, but people are telling me that I can't get a loan after filing bankruptcy.
answered on Jun 6, 2015
There is no rule or law that prevents you from purchasing a home after you've filed for bankruptcy. It's true that it may be more difficult to get approved for a home loan after filing for bankruptcy, but that depends to a great degree on how you've managed your credit and finances... View More
