A Lifeline During Our Company's Financial Restructuring

When our family-owned manufacturing business in Hartford faced overwhelming debt and creditor pressure, we were referred to Jon Newton at Reid and Riege. From our first meeting, his 37 years of experience were evident. He didn't just see a bankruptcy filing; he crafted a strategic reorganization plan that preserved our core operations and protected our employees. His deep knowledge of Creditor Debtor Rights law was instrumental in negotiating with our lenders, turning a potentially catastrophic situation into a viable path forward. It was clear why he is recognized by Best Lawyers in Litigation - Bankruptcy. Jon was not only a brilliant strategist but also a compassionate guide who explained every complex legal step in plain terms. His professionalism and calm demeanor reduced our immense stress. Thanks to his expertise, we successfully navigated Chapter 11 and are now operating profitably again. We cannot recommend Jon P. Newton highly enough for anyone facing serious financial or insolvency challenges.
