Richard Weltman Lawyer Reviews & Ratings - Rockville Centre

Richard Weltman Bio
I am a partner with Falcon Rappaport & Berkman LLP, a full service business law firm. As Co-Chair of the Firm's Creditor's Rights and Bankruptcy Law Practice Group, I believe clients benefit from a holistic and integrated approach to legal problem solviing. As a result, my team often finds it useful to collaborate with lawyers from other departments, including taxation, corporate, labor and employment, real property, landlord and tenant, intellectual property, Web3, digital assets,cryptocurrency, cannabis, among others. In every case, clients are represented zealously and with compassion. Simply put, whatever the facts and circumstances may be, my team focuses on resolving complex business and bankruptcy challenges.. These could involve a wide range of issues, including owner, contractor and joint venture disputes, debtor and creditor entanglements, workouts, assignments, receivership, restructuring, and  turnarounds. Other services include bankruptcy liquidation and reorganization (including small business chapter 11 cases under subchapter V), proofs of claim, debt priority, subordination, distressed asset purchases and sales, evaluating the adequacy of disclosure statements, plan confirmation, trustee claim defense (including preference and claw back), investment and bankruptcy fraud, and objections to debt discharge and dischargeability. I work effectively inside or outside a courtroom, although I am licensed to practice in the federal and state courts of New York and New Jersey, and the Supreme Court of the United States. And while many of the Firm's attorneys are superb litigators, they also understand when it may be better to employ other means of conflict resolution, like arbitration and mediation.. Through it all, the Firm's unwavering objective is to offer clarity, cool heads, and polished performances. The result is clients often  achieve exceptional outcomes when prosecuting or defending high-risk, high-value litigation. In some cases, a single lawsuit can put a company's very survival in jeopardy. The matter could arise from a non-paying vendor or counterparty, licensing dispute, UCC Article 9 enforcement, commercial foreclosure, private or  public asset sale, tax or labor law issue, lease assumption or rejection, note default, as well as a private company's action over control or valuation ("business divorce"), or similar crisis. The attorneys in the Firm's Creditor's Rights and Bankruptcy Law Practice Group are not only crisis managers but also sophisticated advocates and trusted advisors.. Falcon Rappaport & Berkman LLP leverages resources and connections to tailor the right solution for a lender, credit union, property manager, developer, investor, contractor, business owner, professional practice group, or individual in a court room or board room in New York, Long Island, New Jersey, or elsewhere.. I bring to the Firm my personal commitment to do the right things in the right order with the right people. On target and on time.. In the end, extraordinary client service begins with active listening. I trained as a journalist and learned the value of turning every page and asking the right questions. Before becoming a lawyer I created award-winning advertising, marketing and public relations campaigns. Those experiences enable me to develop and deliver creative legal solutions to my business and nonprofit clients. Persuasive legal writing effectively presents a client's story so winning is possible without breaking the bank.
