consuming and difficult, or simply impossible to win. The good news is there are legal steps you
can take that can stop the lawsuit. At King & King bankruptcy attorneys, we
help people who are facing lawsuits and other creditor actions. Our attorneys
are focused on making your debt relief goals a reality.
Does Bankruptcy Stop
Lawsuits?
Bankruptcy can stop the lawsuit. Whatever stage the
lawsuit is in — if you have just been served with papers, if it is already in
court, if you have only been threatened with a lawsuit — bankruptcy creates
what is known as an "automatic stay," a legal action that stops
lawsuits and other creditor actions.
The automatic stay is very powerful and will put an
immediate stop to:
Bank account levies
Creditor calls
