Creditors’ attempts to force Jacoby & Meyers Bankruptcy LLP into bankruptcy are worrying similarly named firms that people will confuse them with the financially troubled entity.
The creditors of the bankruptcy firm, which represents individuals in Chapter 7 and 13 petitions across the country, filed papers in Southern District Bankruptcy Court earlier this month. Petitioners include online document service LegalZoom, which has a judgment against the firm of more than $1 million; three solo practitioners in the New York metropolitan area who claim the firm hasn’t paid them for their appearance work; and two Missouri attorneys who took over client cases.
