When The Ruling Goes Against You: Atlanta Bankruptcy Appeals Lawyers
A bankruptcy court ruling does not always have to be the final word. At Jones & Walden LLC, our bankruptcy appeals lawyers have spent over 25 years helping debtors and creditors challenge adverse rulings – from the District Court level to the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
If you received an unfavorable decision, you typically have just 14 days to file a notice of appeal, so acting quickly is essential.
Common Appealable Bankruptcy Decisions
Not every bankruptcy ruling qualifies for appeal, but many significant decisions do. Our bankruptcy appeals attorney team evaluates a wide range of rulings. You can count on us to help with:
- Plan confirmation denial or approval, including appeals of confirmation orders
- Discharge denial or dischargeability determinations
- Relief from stay granted or denied
- Claim objection rulings
- Fraudulent transfer or preference judgments
- Valuation disputes
- Contempt sanctions
- Fee disputes
If you believe the bankruptcy judge made a legal error, our bankruptcy court appeal lawyer team can evaluate your options right away.
How The Appeals Process Works
Bankruptcy appeals typically begin with a district court bankruptcy appeal and may proceed through the 11th Circuit bankruptcy appeal process – and in rare cases, reach the U.S. Supreme Court. Your case may qualify as a final order appeal or an appeal as of right, or it may require a discretionary appeal, permissive appeal, interlocutory appeal or emergency appeal, including a direct appeal to circuit court.
Our bankruptcy appellate lawyer and appellate bankruptcy attorney team manage every step: filing the notice of appeal, preparing the record, drafting briefs and presenting oral argument. We also handle cross-appeals and consolidated appeals.
Whether you need a Chapter 11 appeal attorney, adversary proceeding appeal counsel or a bankruptcy appeals lawyer for a complex dispute, our team stands ready. Learn more about our broader bankruptcy services to understand how we support clients at every stage.
