Biography

Kevin Tompsett serves clients in Pittsford, New York at Harris Beach Murtha, focusing on creditor debtor rights and insolvency matters. He represents a diverse range of clients, including banks, credit unions, finance companies, and long-term care facilities, in consumer and commercial litigation involving replevin actions and fraudulent conveyance cases, as well as the enforcement of money judgments.

Within his practice areas of bankruptcy and creditor debtor rights, Kevin assists both secured and unsecured creditors, handling various issues such as plan negotiation and confirmation, stay relief motions, and preference and nondischargeability actions.

Kevin is dedicated to supporting long-term care facilities in optimizing recovery on delinquent accounts. With a profound understanding of the Medicaid application process, he collaborates with residents and their families to ensure timely submission of applications and pursues claims related to untimely filings. Additionally, he intervenes when a resident's Net Available Monthly Income is not properly paid to the facility after Medicaid approval.

In debt collection litigation, Kevin addresses post-judgment enforcement issues for long-term care facilities, tackling claims such as breach of contract, account stated, unjust enrichment, and fraudulent conveyance. He works closely with the firm’s Health Care Industry Team when the appointment of a guardian may be necessary for residents. Furthermore, Kevin provides guidance on best practices for the facility application process, assists in modifying and updating admission agreements, and helps secure assignments of residents’ income to ensure operational efficiency.
