Bankruptcy law requires the knowledge, skill and expertise of a lawyer that practices it day in and day out-in other words, a bankruptcy specialist. Do not put your financial future in the hands of someone who does not devote all of his or her practice to bankruptcy.  You need an experienced bankruptcy lawyer who knows the law and how to use it to help you get a fresh financial start. I have more than 30 years of experience in helping individuals get their financial lives back on track.. My practice is dedicated to achieving the best possible results by blending creative solutions, knowledge and experience of the law, direct and hands-on contact with clients and my relationships with the court, trustees and judges. Inexperienced lawyers who treat bankruptcy cases as nothing more than filling out a few forms can cause permanent damage to otherwise unsuspecting and honest debtors. I value and deliver quality over quantity and oversee my clients’ cases with the highest level of accuracy, integrity and professionalism.. An open and communicative working relationship with each client is the single most important factor in helping to get them out from underneath suffocating debt. At Ronald S Siegel, PC, you will always have direct contact with and direct access to me, and you will never--ever--be “passed on” to a paralegal or other support staff member.

Richard’s practice includes: helping venture capitalists, angel investors and entrepreneurs negotiate and close funding rounds; representing buyers and sellers in merger and acquisition transactions; creating advisory boards for his entrepreneurial clients; providing “strategic legal advice” and, helping family-owned businesses survive and thrive.. Richard’s ideal clients include: 1) High potential entrepreneurs with a “change the world” business who need a sophisticated, efficient deal lawyer to help them navigate stages of growth. 2) Successful businessmen and women who are presented with the opportunity for a “great deal,” but aren’t sure where to begin to get the deal done. 3) Power users of legal services (second stage entrepreneurs whose business model often requires frequent use of a lawyer) who can experience lower fees and better quality legal services through a relationship-based fixed fee pricing model.. Richard has handled hundreds of early stage companies/funding rounds during his 35+ years of practice. In the past six years he has handled 38 funding rounds since coming to Kemp Klein – about one every other month. Since a funding round takes 60-90 days to close, there has seldom been a time when he hasn’t been working on at least one funding deal during this period, often two or more at the same time.. Richard says, “This work is the most satisfying work that I do. The investors and entrepreneurs that I represent literally ‘change the world’ through the products and services they bring to the market.”. Richard serves as counsel to Plymouth Venture Partners I, LLC (a $20 million early stage investment fund), Plymouth Venture Partners II, LP (a $40 million venture fund), Plymouth Venture Partners III, LP (a $60 million venture fund) and Plymouth Growth Partners IV (a $40 million venture fund); he has also served as counsel to two funds out of the University of Michigan Ross School of Business (The Frankel Fund, led by Professor Tom Porter, and the Social Venture Fund, led by Gautam Kaul, Ph.D.).. Prior to joining the Kemp Klein Law Firm, Richard founded and for 7 years served as managing partner of his own law firm, Enterprise Law Partners, PLLC. Prior to forming Enterprise Law Partners, PLLC, Richard spent 20 years as a senior partner at a prominent business law firm in the metro Detroit area. While at that firm, Richard was a member of the firm’s corporate practice group primarily advising clients on corporate finance transactions as well as mergers and acquisitions activities. His specialty areas included traditional bank financing, mezzanine lending, venture capital, seed and start-up financing, mergers, stock and asset deals as well as leveraged recapitalizations of family-owned businesses..
