Ellen Lorraine Patton

Case Conclusion Date: May 17, 2010

Practice Area: Bankruptcy / Chapter 7

Outcome: On Appeal

Description: I, along with 3 other counsel, have petitioned the Bankruptcy Court to allow Chapter 7 debtors to strip second mortgages from homes where there is no equity to secure those homes. Right now that practice is only done in Chapter 13 bankruptcies. We are waiting on the decision and opinion.
