🌟NACBA Member Spotlight: Robert H. “Bob” Cooper, Esq. 🏢 Firm: The Cooper Law Firm 📍 Location: Myrtle Beach, SC 👨⚖️ Case Victory: Bob secured a successful appeal in the case In re Rhodes presented before the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals. 🔍 The Case: LVNV, in the bankruptcy court, contended that an objection to the debtor's proof of claim, filed four years into the case and after confirmation of the chapter 13 plan, should be disallowed under the doctrine of res judicata, citing 4th Circuit precedent. ⚖️ Legal Battle: Bob representing the debtor, argued that South Carolina's chapter 13 plan, closely aligned with the national plan, permits such objections. Furthermore, he emphasized that neither the Bankruptcy Code nor its Rules impose a specific time constraint on filing such objections. 🔑 Outcome: The bankruptcy court ruled in favor of the debtor, marking a significant win for Bob and his client. 🔗 View Bob’s attorney profile on NACBA’s National Attorney Finder: https://lnkd.in/eUyKAawV #LegalExcellence #MemberSpotlight #4thCircuitCourt #BankruptcyLaw #NACBA #bankruptcy #caselaw #consumers #bankruptcyattorney #bankruptcycourt #bankruptcycode
