The company's bankruptcy may have just made the guarantee your best asset.

A corporate discharge is not a guarantor's discharge. The entity's plan can erase the company's debt while leaving the individual who signed fully exposed, and where there is fraud, a false financial statement, or a defalcation, §523(a) can make that liability nondischargeable in the guarantor's own case. Bad-boy carve-outs and springing guarantees do similar work.

How often does the guarantee turn out to be the most valuable page in the file?

We enforce guarantees and litigate nondischargeability statewide. dunnlawpa.com.

In a preference analysis, the calendar can be worth more than the contract.

The preference window is not only a defense; it is a planning tool. A payment received on day 91, a security interest perfected outside the reach-back, a genuinely contemporaneous exchange for new value, each is a recovery that survives the filing intact. The difference between a payment you keep and one you return is usually a matter of structure decided months earlier.

Are your clients structuring around the preference window, or reacting to it?

Let's structure the exposure so it holds. dunnlawpa.com.

Most creditors treat a proof of claim as paperwork. It is the opening bid in a negotiation that runs the life of the case, and it decides how much leverage you hold at confirmation.

By the time the petition is filed, the most valuable creditor moves are already gone.

As a company enters the zone of insolvency, directors' duties begin to run toward the enterprise and its creditors, not only equity. That is the window where forbearance terms, additional collateral, and pre-negotiation agreements are actually negotiable. The creditor who reads the 13-week cash flow before the filing writes the terms; the one who waits inherits them.

An empty balance sheet is rarely the end of the story. Often it is the start of the investigation.

When assets walk out the door before a filing, the reach-back you choose decides the case. §548 gives the estate two years. But §544(b) lets a trustee pursue an actual creditor's state-law claim, and Florida's FUFTA runs four. Add §550's recovery from subsequent transferees, and a transfer two and a half years stale is still very much alive.

How far back do you look when a debtor suddenly has "nothing to collect"?

We trace transfers and pursue recovery for creditors across Florida. dunnlawpa.com.

That preference demand letter is not the verdict it pretends to be.

The 2019 Small Business Reorganization Act changed the calculus. Before a trustee or DIP can claw back a payment, §547 now requires reasonable due diligence into a party's known defenses, and venue rules curb the old habit of suing small recipients far from home. Layer in ordinary course, contemporaneous exchange, and subsequent new value, and most demands are softer than the cover letter suggests.

Has the due-diligence requirement changed how you answer these demands?

If your client received a clawback demand, the defenses are quantifiable. dunnlawpa.com.

What if the smartest move is not defending your priority, but attacking theirs?

Where a claim sits in the waterfall is not always fixed. Equitable subordination under §510(c) can push a bad actor's claim below yours; recharacterization can recast an insider's "loan" as the equity it always was. Both turn on facts that surface early, undercapitalization, thin documentation, non-arm's-length terms, and both reward the party who builds the record first.

When have you seen an insider's claim knocked down the waterfall?

For a creditor stuck behind an insider or an overreaching lender, we challenge the claim ahead of yours. dunnlawpa.com.
