N/A

OUTCOME: Confirmed Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization

This case involved the successful reorganization of debtor’s six multi-unit apartment building rental properties. The debtor came to my firm after filing three prior unsuccessful Chapter 11 bankruptcie ... s with two different attorneys. Filing the debtor’s fourth Chapter 11 bankruptcy, we successfully overcame a 180-day bar. We then brought and prevailed on six valuation motions that reduced the amount of the secured first lien on all six rental properties, and completely stripped off the second liens on properties that had seconds, thereby rendering them completely unsecured. The plan treatment of unsecured creditors paid out seven cents on the dollar for 5 years.

In re Nabih Mansour and Mary Mansour

N/A

OUTCOME: Confirmed Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization

On October 28, 2014, I confirmed a plan of reorganization in a Chapter 11 case entitled In re Nabih Mansour and Mary Mansour, Case No. 2:12-bk-48622-RN. My firm substituted into this case on August 8, ... 2013. Debtors filed for bankruptcy when their finances became strained due to the economic downturn, resulting in them falling behind on their mortgage. Debtors’ filed a Chapter 11 bankruptcy to stop foreclosure proceedings initiated against them. Debtors were also faced with the costly burden of litigation in a construction defect state court case where Debtors’ were the plaintiffs in. In the bankruptcy, Debtors filed a Motion for Relief from Automatic Stay to permit the entire state court action to proceed to final disposition, which was heavily litigated from the date it commenced until approximately mid-2013, when Debtors’ reached a global settlement with all state court defendants but one, who refused to settle. Since Debtors’ bankruptcy could not go forward until a final disposition was reached in the state court case with all Defendants, I took it upon myself to meet with the non-settling creditor and his attorney, and refused to leave this settlement meeting until we reached an agreement. A full day later, a settlement agreement was reached, and in February 2014, the last remaining parties to the State Court Action entered into a Release and Settlement Agreement where Debtors’ were awarded $939,000.00 from defendants, which Debtors used to pay off their creditors, including back taxes owed to the IRS and a large arrearage on their home mortgage. Debtors were happy to keep their home and to finally have their state court construction case finally resolved in their favor.
