Bankruptcy: Our firm represents individual and commercial clients in bankruptcy proceedings, initiated by either an insolvent individual or business, or creditors seeking to have the debtor's remaining assets distributed among the creditors and, thereby discharging the debtor from further obligation or restructuring and reorganization of the insolvent's debt structure. Although not the initial approach, when work outs and negotiations fail, this may be required. Litigation within the bankruptcy case is a niche of the firm, but actually is merely an additional forum for the overall business litigation nature of our practice.

Simultaneously, we represent business clients in their relationships with other businesses who are attempting to affect this same resolution of financial difficulty and distress.
Debtor-Creditor Law: Our firm represents both debtors and creditors, in and outside the bankruptcy forum, counseling them with respect to their rights vis-a-vis third parties. We certainly hope to avoid litigation while analyzing their respective rights; in those circumstances in which ligation is required, however, we represent our several clients in an effort to either recover the most possible or, alternatively, eliminate or reduce exposure and recovery.
Employment Law & Litigation: Our firm represents individuals and commercial clients in employment-related disputes involving both state and federal employment matters.
Secured Transactions: The various attorneys within the firm assist business and commercial clients to determine whether a transaction should include security interests, create and protect various security interests and lien rights. Where necessary, we foreclose or assist in repossession efforts to obtain recovery of a secured claim and litigate the efficacy and priority of security interests, mortgages, mechanics liens, materialmen liens and related secured transactions.
