  I have substantial experience representing businesses and their owners, creditors, and trustees in disputes in state and federal court, bankruptcy proceedings, administrative proceedings and appeals. I have represented businesses in connection with fraudulent transfer and preference litigation, shareholder and employment disputes, fraud and embezzlement litigation, corporate governance disputes, asset sales, collections and debt negotiation, workouts and reorganizations, receivership proceedings, alter ego and successor liability, zoning issues, insurance disputes, commercial lease disputes, real estate and tax issues, and various tort claims. Often times a comprehensive solution requires solving problems for the individual business owners themselves. I represent business owners in litigation involving corporate governance disputes, allegations of fraudulent transfers or wrongful distributions, receivership proceedings, successor liability, veil piercing, and personal guarantees. I also have represented individuals in asset protection protection planning, risk analysis, bankruptcy eligibility litigation, and fraudulent transfer, preference, and dischargeability litigation in bankruptcy cases.
