A Lifeline During a Complex Business Bankruptcy Litigation

When our construction company faced a devastating lawsuit from a creditor during a Chapter 11 filing, the situation felt insurmountable. We needed an attorney who understood the intricate intersection of construction law, bankruptcy, and high-stakes litigation. Brian Irvine was that attorney. His 24 years of experience, particularly his deep focus on creditors' rights and litigation, were immediately apparent. He didn't just react to the lawsuit; he crafted a comprehensive strategy that addressed the bankruptcy proceedings and the litigation as interconnected challenges. His negotiation skills, honed over decades, were instrumental. Brian navigated incredibly tense mediation sessions with a calm, unwavering professionalism that commanded respect. He explained every legal nuance from the Nevada bankruptcy court's perspective without ever resorting to confusing jargon. The result was a favorable settlement that preserved our business's core operations and allowed for a viable reorganization plan. Seeing Brian recognized repeatedly as Lawyer of the Year in Litigation - Bankruptcy isn't a surprise; it's a testament to the caliber of representation he provides. At Dickinson Wright in Reno, you're not just getting a lawyer; you're getting a strategic partner who fights tirelessly for the best possible outcome.
