I focus my practice on advising clients in all aspects of complex commercial insolvency, particularly in the former representation of the unsecured creditors’ committees in several large Chapter 11 cases having national implications. In addition, I have been involved in the representation of multiple international corporate entities in their roles as secured and unsecured creditors in proceedings under Chapters 7 and 11 of title 11 of the United States Code, including the representation of parties in some of the nation’s largest bankruptcy cases. I am also an experienced commercial litigator, in both state and federal courts, with regard to matters involving the exercise of creditors’ rights under the Uniform Commercial Code and New York Real Property Actions and Proceeding Law, including representing the nation’s largest special servicer in the highly contested foreclosure of over one million square feet of real property in Western New York. Prior to the practice of law, I served in the United States Marine Corps as a Marine One Presidential Helicopter Guard for former United States president Bill Clinton, where I was awarded with the Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal. Also during my Marine Corps service, I was a military policeman stationed in Okinawa, Japan, where I acted as liaison between local police and military personnel on several military installations located throughout the region.Representative Experience Includes: --Representing the Unsecured Creditors’ Committee in a Chapter 11 bankruptcy resulting from a multi-billion dollar Ponzi scheme --Representing the Unsecured Creditors’ Committee of a large regional lumber company in Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings --Representing an international vehicle fleet lender in various actions relating to the bankruptcy of a regional dealership --Providing bankruptcy counsel to aircraft lessors of a major United States-based air carrier
