Early reactions to Milavetz around the blogosphere
Tuesday, March 9th, 2010I took a peek around the internet to see what bloggers were saying about today’s Supreme Court decision in Milavetz, Gallop, & Milavetz, P.A. v. United States, no. 08-1119.
Bob Lawless at the popular Credit Slips blog seems satisfied that the decision came out the way he expected, and chastised early reports for their inaccuracies. By contrast, M. Jonathon Hayes at the BankruptcyProf Blog was “shocked” given his read of the oral argument.
On the other hand, Scott Riddle at the Georgia Bankruptcy Blog was surprised that lawyers could be called anything but debt relief agencies under BAPCPA. Stephen Sather, an Austin bankruptcy, lawyer yawned along with Riddle on the designation, but made the point that BAPCPA survived its first constitutional salvo.
Steve Jakubowski at Bankruptcy Litigation Blog took the opportunity to remind us that today would have been Holmes’ 169th birthday. While Washington State bankruptcy lawyer Jay Jump lamented the decision as a lose-lose proposition for lawyers and their clients alike and rings the free speech warning siren in the process (maybe rightly) at the National Bankruptcy Forum.
As for the McLeod Law Offices, they are probably too busy to read the opinion, at least until the weekend. After all, if you haven’t heard, bankruptcy firms debt relief agencies are a little busy these days–just a little.
