Overview

Asset Recovery and Financial Advocacy.

Germer provides comprehensive legal counsel to creditors navigating the complexities of debt collection and bankruptcy litigation. We represent financial institutions, corporations, and individual creditors in state and federal courts, focusing on the protection of rights and the maximization of asset recovery. Our attorneys understand that when a debtor files for bankruptcy, swift and strategic action is required to secure a creditor’s position within the hierarchy of claims.

The firm handles the full spectrum of insolvency proceedings, including Chapter 7, 11, 12, and 13 bankruptcies. We provide disciplined advocacy in specialized bankruptcy litigation, such as preference actions, fraudulent transfer claims, and disputes over the automatic stay. Beyond the bankruptcy court, our litigators are experienced in traditional debt collection, including the enforcement of judgments, foreclosures, and the pursuit of collateral.

By integrating bankruptcy expertise with the firm’s broader litigation and transactional capabilities, we offer a steady resource for clients facing financial risk. We prioritize early case evaluation to identify the most efficient path toward recovery, ensuring that our clients’ interests are aggressively defended throughout the lifecycle of the debt. Whether negotiating a workout agreement or litigating an adversary proceeding, we provide the technical oversight needed to manage complex financial defaults.
