Ashley Lerch, an attorney in the Chester County office of Fox Rothschild LLP, recently secured a ruling by the Pennsylvania Superior Court in favor of Citadel Federal Credit Union.

Citadel subsequently filed a petition to fix the fair market value of the property, and that petition was approved by the trial court, where the debtor represented himself pro se.
