A national bankruptcy law firm is now in bankruptcy itself. Southern District Bankruptcy Judge Shelley Chapman (See Profile) has granted the Chapter 7 request of creditors for Jacoby & Meyers Bankruptcy LLP.
The firm represented individuals in their own Chapter 7 and 13 petitions across the country. In March, creditors filed papers to force it into bankruptcy. The petitioners included online document service LegalZoom, which had a judgment of more than $1 million against the firm; three solo practitioners in the New York metropolitan area who claimed the firm didn’t pay them for their appearance work; and two Missouri attorneys who took over client cases.
