Expert guidance through a complex business restructuring

Our manufacturing company faced a critical financial crisis with a key customer filing for Chapter 11. We engaged Susan Trent at Rothberg Logan & Warsco based on her strong reputation in Fort Wayne. Her 27 years of deep experience in commercial workouts and creditor rights were immediately evident. Susan didn't just navigate the bankruptcy code; she provided strategic counsel that protected our interests as a supplier far beyond what we anticipated. Her advice was pragmatic, clear, and always focused on achieving the best possible outcome. It's no surprise she's been recognized as Lawyer of the Year in this field. Susan's professionalism and command of complex insolvency issues turned a potentially devastating situation into a manageable, structured resolution. We are profoundly grateful for her exceptional service and expertise.
