William Morris
When our family-owned shipping operation in San Jose faced a perfect storm of a distressed vessel needing refinancing and a creditor initiating bankruptcy proceedings, we were overwhelmed. Michael Parise was the steady hand we desperately needed. His unique blend of expertise in maritime vessel financing, complex loan restructuring, and bankruptcy law proved to be a game-changer. Michael didn't just see these as separate issues; he crafted a holistic strategy that addressed the loan, the asset, and the litigation threat simultaneously. His deep understanding of commercial law, particularly in the niche area of maritime assets, gave us confidence from our first meeting. He navigated the intricate negotiations with our lenders and the opposing counsel with a rare combination of tenacity and pragmatism. The result was a successful loan modification that preserved our core business and a favorable settlement that avoided a protracted court battle. Michael’s counsel was not only legally astute but also commercially sensible, always keeping our long-term operational viability in focus. For any business in Alaska dealing with multifaceted commercial, real estate, or financial legal challenges, I cannot recommend Michael Parise more highly.
