Expert guidance through a complex business restructuring

When our small manufacturing company in Detroit faced overwhelming debt and creditor pressure, we turned to Floyd Gates at Bodman PLC. Despite his relatively recent start at the firm, his deep knowledge was immediately apparent. He clearly drew upon the foundational expertise that earned him recognition in bankruptcy and creditor rights law. Floyd meticulously explained our options under Chapter 11, translating complex insolvency concepts into actionable strategies we could understand. His calm, methodical approach from our very first consultation instilled confidence during an incredibly stressful time. He was exceptionally responsive, always prepared, and negotiated skillfully with our creditors. The successful reorganization plan he helped craft has given our business a viable future. Floyd’s professionalism and substantive skill, honed at Wayne State University Law School and evident in his precise work, were invaluable. We cannot recommend him highly enough for business financial challenges.
