A Lifeline During Our Company's Financial Restructuring

When our family-owned manufacturing business faced overwhelming creditor pressure, we turned to Stephen Selbst. His 41 years of experience, particularly in bankruptcy and creditor rights, were immediately evident. He didn't just see our Chapter 11 as a legal process; he understood it as a strategic opportunity to rebuild. Stephen's guidance through the complexities of the reorganization plan was masterful, balancing assertive negotiation with pragmatic solutions. His recognition by Best Lawyers in insolvency law is well-deserved. The outcome preserved our core operations and saved dozens of jobs. Stephen and his team at Herrick Feinstein provided not just exceptional legal expertise, but genuine partnership during an incredibly stressful time. We are now on stable ground, thanks to his strategic counsel.
