Creditor Rights & Bankruptcy

The Firm represents debtors and creditors in various commercial disputes. Mr. Assouline, in particular, has taken many cases to judgment and seized judgment debtors' assets, funds, and property, whether through garnishment proceedings, proceedings supplementary, or by levy upon execution, with the assistance of the United States Marshal and/or the County Sheriff, all as part of the collection process.

Mr. Assouline has represented numerous court appointed receivers and has extensive experience litigating cases involving judgment collection that often ends up in bankruptcy court, as an effort to stave off further collection efforts. Mr. Assouline was lead litigation counsel for a multi-national federal court receivership action, in which he filed numerous recovery actions seeking the return of funds fraudulently transferred in connection with a $59 million Ponzi scheme. These actions were brought against dozens of different defendants, including many high profile individuals and involved attorneys in different states and the coordination with the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Many of these actions were filed to recover "false profits" received by individuals through the fraud.
