The members of our bankruptcy team do more than minimize loss in bankruptcies. Weltman, Weinberg & Reis Co., L.P.A. (WWR) examines all aspects of the file and manages the process to protect our client's interests and pursue maximum recovery. Because of our comprehensive understanding of bankruptcy laws and procedures, our clients frequently look to us for guidance in determining what actions to take on a file.

Our staff is directly involved in the bankruptcy process and is frequently called upon by our clients and conference sponsors to present programs on bankruptcy issues and trends. As a result of the large volume of bankruptcy files handled, we have daily interaction with judges, trustees and debtors' attorneys. WWR has earned the reputation for being aggressive, professional and honest, and as a result can often resolve matters without filing motions or engaging in lengthy proceedings. Our approach leads to success in obtaining a high number of reaffirmation agreements and voluntary surrenders of collateral. It also enables us to more effectively and efficiently process matters where fraud may be present.

Similar to our collection operation, we have fully utilized technology in order to receive daily updates on bankruptcy filings and provide reporting and follow-up to our clients. All WWR files are subject to daily review by automated bankruptcy information services to facilitate the monitoring of case filings, discharges and dismissals. We are online with PACER, national trustee databases, and all courts -- enabling us to automatically review case statuses. Clients can communicate with our staff or transfer files and data via Lenstar and other databases.
