A steady hand through a complex business restructuring

Our family-owned manufacturing company in Tampa faced a severe liquidity crisis that threatened everything we'd built. We needed an attorney with deep experience in creditor rights and insolvency, and Mr. Riedel was recommended. His 50+ years of practice, particularly his recognition in Bankruptcy and Creditor Debtor Rights law, provided immediate confidence. He didn't just see the legal problem; he understood the operational realities of our business. Mr. Riedel guided us through a Chapter 11 reorganization with a clear, strategic plan, effectively mediating with our creditors to reach a workable agreement. His perspective, honed since graduating from UF Law in '74, was invaluable. The process was complex, but he explained each step thoroughly. If there was any minor critique, it would be that initial responses to emails could sometimes take a day, but given his caseload and the depth of consideration he gives each matter, it was understandable. We emerged solvent and operational, thanks to his expertise.
