I have been practicing in the legal fields of creditors rights, secured lending, workouts, corporate restructurings and reorganizations (out-of-court and in-court), distressed asset acquisitions/sales, commercial real estate workouts, corporate bankruptcies and commercial and financial litigation for more than 35 years as well as more recently in the newer field of cannabis law. My practice is based in New York, but I have handled matters and appeared before courts throughout the United States.

I was having some issues with docs and needed some advice from an atty that has experiance in the injury and bankruptcy law atty sleeper was great in the response and very easy to understand-Thank You would hire if I was in need of an atty in the NYC area
"Although he is new to Avvo, it is immediately obvious that the answers of Mr. Sleeper are accurate, analytic, and customized to the needs of the Avvo askers. These are exactly the qualities that every client would look for when hiring an attorney."
"I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Sleeper is an extremely knowledgeable and effective advocate for his clients."
"I have known and participated with Eric in several professional organizations and he has always demonstrated a deep knowledge of the subject matter of bankruptcy and insolvency. I would recommend him without hesitation."
"Eric is an excellent attorney committed to providing the highest quality representation to clients. I endorse this attorney without reservation."
"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"
"Mr. Sleeper has offered many valuable insights here at Avvo and his endorsements indicate that he has earned the respect of his peers. I certainly endorse Eric Sleeper."
"Lawyer's of different fields often must work together and refer clients to one another. I endorse this lawyer for his Bankruptcy knowledge in New York."
"I wholeheartedly endorse this lawyer. A brilliant, trustworthy and highly respected attorney in the legal community."
