Harris v. Ben Ezra & Katz, et al.

N/A

OUTCOME: Case Dismissed

A chapter 13 debtor sued her mortgage lender's bankruptcy attorneys for various allegedly improper actions related to the firm's involvement with a national loan servicer. The law firm, represented by ... Ms. Cooke, filed a motion to dismiss the action because each of the debtor's claims either had no legal basis, no factual basis, or both. During a joint hearing before two bankruptcy judges, Ms. Cooke and the other defendants' attorneys successfully argued that the claims should be dismissed because none of the defendants were estate professionals and none had obtained property of the estate.
