Respected. Responsive. Results.

Zabel Schellenberg represents clients in bankruptcy and bankruptcy-adjacent matters, including creditors’ rights, municipal claims, foreclosure-related bankruptcy issues, and disputes involving financially distressed individuals or businesses.

Our attorneys understand that bankruptcy matters often intersect with other areas of law, including municipal tax collection, real estate, foreclosure, commercial litigation, business disputes, and judgment enforcement.

This multidisciplinary perspective allows us to provide practical, efficient, and strategic counsel to clients whose rights or interests may be affected by a bankruptcy filing.

We assist municipalities, businesses, lenders, property owners, and other interested parties in evaluating the impact of bankruptcy proceedings on pending litigation, collection efforts, foreclosure actions, contractual obligations, and claims involving real property.

Our attorneys are experienced in reviewing bankruptcy filings, assessing automatic stay issues, protecting secured and unsecured claims, and helping clients determine the most effective path forward.

For municipal clients, bankruptcy filings can create unique challenges when unpaid taxes, water and sewer charges, blight liens, code enforcement assessments, or other municipal charges are involved.

We work closely with tax collectors, finance departments, municipal officials, and other professionals to ensure that municipal claims are properly evaluated, preserved, and pursued consistent with applicable law.

We also advise clients on bankruptcy-related litigation issues, including motions for relief from stay, claim objections, adversary proceedings, dischargeability concerns, lien priority issues, and the effect of bankruptcy on pending state court matters.

When bankruptcy intersects with foreclosure, tax appeals, real estate disputes, or commercial litigation, our attorneys bring the practical judgment and litigation experience necessary to protect our clients’ interests.

At Zabel Schellenberg, we recognize that bankruptcy matters are often time-sensitive and require careful attention to procedural requirements, deadlines, and the practical realities of collection and recovery.

Our attorneys provide responsive, strategic, and cost-conscious representation to help clients navigate these issues with confidence.
