Jennis Morse Etlinger Bankruptcy News October 14, 2021

Jennis Morse Etlinger filed a recent Subchapter V bankruptcy for Nature Coast EMS, an ambulatory not-for-profit service. The firm attended the “first day” hearing where it was able to obtain interim relief to maintain certain bank accounts (for accounts receivable purposes), pay officer’s salaries and utilize cash collateral. And, the firm obtained final relief to pay prepetition wages and to sell two vehicles (to consummate a prepetition sale). These efforts will help ensure a smooth transition for the transfer of certain services to the county.

Jennis Morse Etlinger, representing a creditor in a pending Chapter 13 case, successfully obtained a dismissal of that bankruptcy so that the client could continue its collection efforts in state court.
