Sheila Esmaili

I couldn’t have been more stressed out in the beginning; fresh out of college, dealing with professional governance issues and just overall feeling at the end of my rope and not sure what to do, and then a friend mentioned that I should call Sheila. Let me tell you, it was probably the BEST decision ...I have made! She put my mind at ease about all my stressors, from bleeding finances to management to overall restructuring and rebuilding. I couldn’t be more grateful to her for the assistance, she even helped me get my stuff back after a difficult situation in which someone wanted to take advantage of it and she was not having it! I don’t know what more I can say to Sheila other than “THANK YOU” and thanks for being my biggest cheerleader through this fiasco! I HIGHLY recommend Sheila because if you want compassion, dedication and perseverance to do the right thing, she’s got you covered 110%!!

Since April 13, 1992, my husband and I have been the CEO of Hoskins Enterprises, Inc. We are in the business of providing adult day care services for mentally disabled adults. After over 20 years of being in business, we came close to losing everything when a former employee sued us. In an effort ...to save our corporation, we filed a chapter 11 bankruptcy two years ago. In our first year in bankruptcy, our case was handled by 6 different attorneys and paralegals, with no progress in our case. Then Sheila took over our case, and everything changed. We thought she would just be another attorney to come in and out of our case, boy were we wrong! Sheila is efficient, disciplined, and looks at the big picture. She took over our case, reviewed it, pinpointed all the issues with our case and addressed every single one of them, within only the first few of weeks! The first 3 days on our case, she negotiated a settlement with the former employee who sued us, and did not quit until a settlement was reached. She then addressed all other issues of our case, and then immediately filed a modified chapter 11 plan. After only a few weeks of handling our case, she resolved everything! Needless to say, our chapter 11 plan was confirmed in the very first hearing since Sheila took over our case! Even the Judge stated she appreciated and was impressed at how promptly the new handling attorney was at addressing all the issues of our case! And it did not end there. After we confirmed our plan, Sheila continued to keep a close eye on our case, making sure we were in compliance every step of the way. To this day, Sheila continues to go above and beyond what is required of her, because she cares, she knows what she is doing, and she will not quit until she gets the results she promises her clients. She promised us she will save our business, and she did. Thanks to Sheila and her chapter 11 team, last month we celebrated our 21st year anniversary in business!
