A Lifeline During Our Business's Financial Crisis

When our family-owned manufacturing company in Seattle faced overwhelming debt and a potential lawsuit from our primary lender, we were referred to Brad Hightower at Christian & Small. From our first meeting, his deep understanding of both commercial litigation and bankruptcy law was evident. He didn't just see a bankruptcy filing; he saw a complex situation involving creditor negotiations and potential litigation, which aligned perfectly with his recognized expertise in Banking & Finance and Creditor Debtor Rights. Brad meticulously analyzed our contracts and developed a strategic reorganization plan that allowed us to continue operations while negotiating a favorable settlement with the bank, avoiding a costly court battle. His six years of focused practice in Alabama meant he knew the local legal landscape intimately. What truly set him apart was his ability to explain every legal nuance in clear terms, making us feel like partners in the process rather than just clients. Thanks to his guidance, we successfully navigated Chapter 11 and are now on stable footing. His professionalism and genuine care were exceptional.
