Our attorneys work to protect and preserve business property for the benefit of creditors

Since 1970, Carlisle Law has processed thousands of foreclosure cases in every county in the State of Ohio, along with attendant bankruptcy proceedings in the various federal courts. Carlisle Law offers the same services in Kentucky through seasoned Kentucky attorneys with similar long-standing practice presence in that state. We are intimately familiar with the oftentimes idiosyncratic procedures followed by the courts, and thus, focus on processing cases in the most expeditious manner consistent with law and legal procedures.

 

Our attorneys work to protect and preserve business assets for the benefit of creditors, including using pre-judgment remedies such as receiverships to preserve collateral pending resolution and using short sales and deed-in-lieu agreements to avoid lengthy foreclosure proceedings.

We also represent our clients in any contested litigation affecting the foreclosure such as:

• Responses to defense motions alleging failure of service or other defects in the foreclosure filings
• Defense of counterclaims
• Actions to correct title defects
• Eviction of former owners and tenants
• Stay relief and pursuing collateral in debtor bankruptcies
• Collection of deficiency balances
• Defense of Discovery
• Obtaining relief for our clients that have referred the case to us after a default judgment has already been taken against them
• Defense against motions to vacate our client’s judgments
• Attending pre-trial conferences and preparing pre-trial motions
• Winning trials if the case goes to trial
• Post-trial briefs and motions
• Appellate defense
