A consummate professional who guided our business through a complex restructuring

Our family-owned manufacturing company in Mobile faced an overwhelming debt structure following a major client's bankruptcy. We needed an attorney with deep, practical knowledge of both creditor rights and corporate reorganization. Jeffery Hartley was recommended for his extensive 35-year practice, and his counsel proved invaluable. He didn't just apply textbook solutions; he leveraged his multi-disciplined background in workouts and insolvency to craft a pragmatic reorganization plan that preserved our core business and protected key assets. His calm, strategic approach during negotiations with creditors was masterful. It's clear why he has earned repeated 'Lawyer of the Year' recognition in bankruptcy law. From our initial consultation at Helmsing Leach to the final confirmation hearing, Jeffery's expertise was evident. He translated complex legal concepts into clear action plans, and his dedication resulted in a positive outcome we didn't think was possible. We are now on stable footing, thanks entirely to his exceptional skill and steadfast professionalism.
