When clients need protection from bankrupt debtors, they turn to Michael.
Many of the clients Michael counsels are companies that find themselves as creditors to distressed borrowers and bankrupt debtors. Whether clients are secured lenders or unsecured creditors, Michael takes a straightforward, no-nonsense approach, seeking to maximize recoveries while minimizing the time and fees required to achieve each client’s goals.
Michael also extensively counsels clients on how to avoid or minimize exposure to bankruptcy avoidance actions (preferential transfers and constructively fraudulent conveyances), saving them time and significant money in the process. He is one of a handful of attorneys in Missouri and Kansas who are board certified in Business Bankruptcy by the American Board of Certification.*
Michael has authored numerous articles nationally and internationally in well-respected bankruptcy publications and has frequently spoken on debtor/creditor issues, including bankruptcy, avoidance actions, landlord-tenant issues, evidence, electronically stored information, arbitration, international litigation and ethics.
