Sample of Legal Cases
Tim Yoo, attorney for the trustee
I am now fighting with the attorney who represents the trustee over how much they should be paid on their "administrative claim"
Heritage Pacific Financial
I took my case to trial. We won and I was awarded $40,000.00 in attorney's fees from Heritage Pacific Financial. They could not prove that they could "reasonably rely" on the loan paper work.
In Re Steinacher
The Bankruptcy Appellate Panel agreed with me that this rule was not consistent with the bankruptcy code
