Chapter 12 is a powerful tool to assist debtors who qualify as farmers or fishermen. There has been an increase in chapter 12 cases filed across the country and there is a need for experienced debtors’ counsel to represent them. However many consumer attorneys are uncomfortable with chapter 12 cases because they are not aware of the different requirements and deadlines.
