A Lifeline for Our Family Farm and Business

When our family's agricultural business in South Florida was facing overwhelming debt and a potential foreclosure, we were referred to Jerry Markowitz. From our first consultation, his depth of knowledge was immediately apparent. He explained the intricacies of Chapter 12 bankruptcy with a clarity that put our minds at ease, drawing on his five decades of experience. His dual background in law and accounting from the University of Florida proved invaluable, as he meticulously analyzed our financials to structure a viable reorganization plan. What truly sets Mr. Markowitz apart is his blend of formidable legal acumen—evident in his Best Lawyers recognition for Bankruptcy Litigation—and genuine personal investment. He didn't just see a case file; he understood our legacy and fought tenaciously to preserve it. His firm, Markowitz Ringel Trusty & Hartog, provided robust support, but it was Jerry's steady, strategic guidance that navigated us through complex negotiations with creditors. The result was a confirmed plan that saved our operation and gave us a sustainable future. For anyone in Florida facing financial restructuring, especially in agriculture, his specialized focus is unparalleled.
