Bankruptcy cases

David accepted a brief to assist us with the dissolution of two US-based subsidiaries of a UK parent which, in and of itself, was not necessarily a straight forward task but there was also a strenuous challenge to the actions proposed and David was a hugely supportive professional to have on our team.... Faced with a similar situation again, I would not hesitate to ask for his assistance.

When it matters you need David Reeder in your corner.

I hired David for chapter 11 case(s) against me and my company from a larger similar business that was trying to put me out of business. I would highly recommend hiring David. This was no small case. David got my plan approved and after 5 years my company is doing great. David is smart and went nose... to nose against the opposition. David’s knowledge and quick thinking would be hard to beat.

Highly Recommended

David Reeder represented me in a very difficult personal bankruptcy. He is the lawyer you want when facing challenging times!

Posted by Rob | August 01, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Bankruptcy & Debt

Five Stars!

David Reeder represented me in a series of corporate bankruptcies and a personal bankruptcy, the result of signing personal guarantees for many millions of dollars. Mr. Reeder is a very knowledgable, capable, compassionate, steadfast and resolute attorney, if he is on your team, he is in your corner... 100%. Although succinct, to the point and not one to give opinions outside his purview, he always ensured all facts were available and understood, and outlined the potential outcomes that might result from each decision required to be made. Mr. Reeder is both a gentleman and the kind of professional who takes his word very seriously. He is always accessible and always looking out for his clients interests. I recommend Mr. Reeder wholeheartedly!

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
