When my family-owned manufacturing company in Jacksonville faced insurmountable debt and needed to explore restructuring, we were referred to Matthew Hale at Stichter, Riedel. His recognition by Best Lawyers in Bankruptcy and Creditor Debtor Rights was immediately evident. Matthew didn't just see our case as a financial problem; he took the time to understand our decades-long legacy and our goal to preserve the business. Over several months, his strategic approach to our Chapter 11 reorganization was meticulous. He expertly navigated negotiations with our secured creditors and crafted a viable plan that the court confirmed. His four years of focused experience in insolvency law meant he anticipated every hurdle. Matthew’s professionalism was constant—he was always prepared, responsive, and translated complex legal concepts into clear action steps. Thanks to his expertise, our company is now operational, profitable, and debt-free. I cannot recommend him highly enough for anyone in Northeast Florida facing similar financial distress.
