I have practiced for over 36 years and have significant experience in complex business cases, especially sales of distressed companies in bankruptcy cases and state receiverships.  I am the former chair of the Bankruptcy Section of the Wisconsin State Bar, the Bankruptcy section of the Milwaukee Bar Association and the Bankruptcy Committee of the Eastern District of Wisconsin Bar Association.  I was invited by the US Ambassador and the Chamber of Commerce to lead a team to Prague to instruct Czech Judges, attorneys and business persons on the country's newly enacted bankruptcy statute.  I write and speak frequently on bankruptcy topics, and am a lecturer at the Business School of the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee on bankruptcy topics.
