Do Not Take Misdemeanor Charges Lightly

Simple assault and assault and battery charges are Class 1 misdemeanors. If you are convicted, you could face up to one year in jail. If the victim is a police officer, corrections officer, safety representative, teacher, or school official, you can face harsher charges under Virginia law.

Misdemeanor charges can impact your future if you are convicted. Ms. Vaughan has experience representing individuals charged with assault and battery, malicious wounding, and unlawful wounding in Blacksburg, Christiansburg, and throughout the surrounding areas.

Restructuring Under Chapter 11 Bankruptcy

In a typical Chapter 11 bankruptcy, a business will make changes that reduce its expenses and free up assets. The business does not have complete control over those changes.

The bankruptcy court must approve proposed changes such as:

• The sale of real estate, inventory, or other assets
• Modifying vendor, licensing, or other contracts
• Shutting down or expanding business operations
• Financing that allows the business to borrow money

Court Confirmation Is Required

Creditors need to approve a reorganization plan in order to move forward. If any creditor does not approve the plan, the petitioning party can ask the court to force all debtors to accept the plan.

In these “cramdown” cases, the court must ensure that the plan meets two criteria:

• It is in the best interest of the creditors: The creditors must receive at least as much under a proposed plan as they would if the debtor’s case was filed as a Chapter 7 or converted to a Chapter 7 bankruptcy in which the debtor’s assets were liquidated.
• It is fair and equitable: A nonaccepting class of creditors cannot be compelled to accept less than full compensation while a more junior creditor or equity holder receives anything or retains its interest in the debtor under the plan.

The Roanoke Chapter 11 bankruptcy attorneys at Magee Goldstein Lasky & Sayers, PC understand what is necessary to gain court approval and will structure your plan to achieve those objectives.

Prompt Action Is Important
