Legal Question in Bankruptcy in New York

Re: Can a bankruptcy be reopened to add an old creditor?

If the bankruptcy law hadn't changed dramatically in 2005, two years after your case was discharged, the answer to your question would be easy. However, with the massive change in the law since your case was in the system, I have many questions that must be answered before I can answer yours.

If you had an attorney handle your matter in 2003, contact him or her with your question. If not, and if you live reasonably close to New York's Capital District, you're welcome to give my office a call to set up an appointment for a free half-hour consultation. If you're far away from the Albany/Schenectady/Troy/Saratoga area, you should contact an attorney who is local to you (referrals may be available through the NYS Bar Association, www.nysba.org or through your county's bar association). Geography is important in this instance because you must physically come to the office for this consultation.
