About Eric

Learn Eric’s areas of practice.

I have been practicing in the legal fields of commercial and financial litigation, creditors rights, secured lending, workouts, restructurings, reorganizations (out-of-court and in-court), distressed asset acquisitions/sales, commercial real estate workouts, and corporate bankruptcies for more than a quarter of a century as well as more recently in the newer field of cannabis law. My practice is based in New York and New Jersey, but I have handled matters and appeared before courts throughout the United States.

Gave the most detailed suggestions in layman's terms.
"I knew better than to go by "I know a lawyer!" when I'm still in pain. It's not a very astute way of choosing an attorney, So, if I am forced to make a change after these past 7 years, Eric will be the attorney I found on my own. Thank you, Eric! I sincerely appreciate your help!

Chapter 11 bankruptcy Attorney | Sep 01
Relationship: Worked together on matter
"I endorse Eric Sleeper with great pleasure. Secured and unsecured creditors have so much at stake in dealing with debtors who are insolvent and/or who have filed for bankruptcy. Very significantly, all bankruptcy lawyers are NOT the same. It is critical for any secured and unsecured creditor to get the most experienced lawyer (who also practices in chapter 11) to ensure the greatest opportunity for success. The best bankruptcy attorney (Eric Sleeper satisfies that description) is one who (a) understands the Bankruptcy Code, (b) understands Congressional intent underlying the Bankruptcy Code, (c) has years of practice & is respected by Bankruptcy Judges, (d) has years of experience analyzing loan documents; (e) patiently listens & understands the client's personal circumstances & (f) analyzes client facts and then suggests and implements a creative and prompt strategy for such client's success. Thanks for your professionalism. Best, Barbie D. Lieber"
