Joe has learned that the keys to a great dish are preparation, creativity, and an understanding of how different ingredients work together. Too much of one ingredient can ruin its flavor. The right combination, however, is a sure success. An experienced litigator and bankruptcy debtor/creditor counsel, Joe brings a unique perspective to his clients' transactions. In the same way, he knows how certain spices add taste, he can identify the impact a seemingly irrevlevant detail may have on his client's goals and devise creative solutions to account for that effect. He knows that a focus on the end result and a commitment to success ensures clients' goals and needs are met. Joe serves both individual and corporate clients in the areas of secured and unsecured transactions, equipment leasing, including workouts, creditor remedies in bankruptcy, contract negotiations, acquisitions, real estate, litigation, and general representation for closesly held business entities.
