Representative Matters
Ms. Holdren represents secured and unsecured creditors, financial institutions, commercial landlords, equipment
financers and lessors, in both state and federal courts. Ms. Holdren has successfully represented clients in cases
such as the following:
- New Jersey Affordable Homes Corp.: Represented secured creditor whose collateral was sold through the bankruptcy proceedings for a comparatively substantial sum.
- In re Bruce and Angela Price: Represented secured creditor and successfully obtained payment in full of client’s claim, including virtually all of the attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in the bankruptcy case. In doing so, established new case law providing an exception to the "merger doctrine" which will be utilized to assist similarly situated creditors in future cases.
- Kara Homes Inc.: Assisted in the representation of a secured creditor which led to its being paid substantially all of its multi-million dollar claim, while obtaining a ruling from the Court which further refined the criteria for determining whether a debtor is a "single asset real estate" entity, which ruling will be useful to creditors in future cases.
