Member of the American Law Institute.. I have compteted in several Houston marathons and one 70.3 Ironman Triathlon, as well as some smaller triathlons. I spend most of my non-working time with my three young children, who can be as exhausting as any marathon.. When first I talk with a client, my goal is to keep them out of bankrutpcy. Bankruptcy is truly the last option, and one that I do not recommend lightly. If a client comes to talk to me sooner (when the financial situation is trending downward and when negative cash flow is just beginning), I can offer them more choices for restructuring their business and less expensive alternatives. Sometimes people delaty visiting with a bankrutpcy lawyer until it is too late. Do not let irrational fear guide your business decisions. Use a level head. Consult a bankruptcy or turnaround lawyer when you are looking for a turnaround. You will lose little and stand to gain a great deal from a consultation with someone who has made it his life's work to turnaround struggling businesses and save struggling business owners.. I have represented creditors of all sizes, from massive insititutional lenders to small individual investors. Generally, as a creditors' counsel, I bring my years of experience to bear in collecting the most money for the least cost. The aphorism that "one cannot get blood from a turnip" does not require that the prudent creditor simply "write off" bankruptcy debts. The debtor hopes that you will just go away, but a smart creditor knows his options. The bankruptcy law provides for extensive scrutiny of the debtor's finances at a moderate cost. A creditor armed with knowledgable counsel will use the bankruptcy court, the structure of trustees and committess, and the power of effective advocacy to get a useful return. As the creditor's counsel, my rates are always reasonable, especialy given my expertise. I charge the same rate for debtor or creditor work - a rate that is substantially lower than that charged by the massive super-firms.
