A knowledgeable and effective advocate during a difficult business restructuring

Our family-owned manufacturing business in New Jersey faced a severe liquidity crisis that threatened everything we had built. We were referred to Sam Della Fera, Jr. at Chiesa Shahinian & Giantomasi, and it was the right call. Sam’s deep knowledge of creditor rights and insolvency law, honed over a decade of practice, was immediately apparent. He didn’t just see our situation as a bankruptcy filing; he crafted a comprehensive reorganization strategy that protected our core assets and preserved relationships with key suppliers. His recognition in the field, including being named a 2023 Lawyer of the Year, is well-deserved and gave us immense confidence. Sam was patient in explaining complex financial and legal concepts, making us feel like true partners in the process. The outcome was a successful Chapter 11 plan that allowed us to continue operations and retain most of our workforce. If I had one note, it would be that communication could occasionally lag during his busiest periods, requiring a follow-up call. However, when it mattered, he was always fully prepared and exceptionally sharp. I would recommend Sam to any business owner navigating financial distress.
