BIRCH, Circuit Judge:
This case presents an issue of first impression for this circuit. We must decide whether a creditor's attorney may recover fees and expenses for a "substantial contribution", 11 U.S.C. § 503(b)(3)(D), in a bankruptcy proceeding where the creditor has an adverse interest to the debtor. We hold that he may recover such fees and expenses. Accordingly, we REVERSE and REMAND.
