Legal Question in Bankruptcy in California

Re: Commercial Landlord Defrauded me

Filing bankruptcy without telling you isn't necessarily actionable fraud. The fraud action you might have against him would relate to the leasing of an unoccupiable space. If he filed bankruptcy after leasing you the property, he may have discharged the fraud claim unless you filed an adversarial acton in the bankruptcy court, or you may be able to reopen his bankruptcy and file an adversarial complaint on the basis of not having been notified of the filing. There are a number of factors needed to be analyzed to give you a proper opinion. Your best bet is to set an appointment with someone to go over the facts. I can review the matter for you if you wish - just drop me an email or call my office.
