  • “Larry’s knowledge of the bankruptcy code is as good as I’ve seen in my years working with Chapter 11 cases and financially distressed companies. He also brings a practical side in resolving issues with various creditor groups. This ability to address various groups the strong and weak points in a non-confrontational manner avoids undue delay and costly litigation in many cases. However, when confrontation is unavoidable, Larry is quite the fine trial lawyer as well.”

    -Chambers 2012

  • “He has strong business acumen as well as a great grasp of the law. That is a very strong combination. Unless he doesn’t want to work with me I’ll always stay with him.”

    -Chambers 2012

  • “Clifton and I have worked together on multiple matters over the years. He makes my job easier by being attentive and responsive to my needs. Clifton does a great job in explaining convoluted situations in laymen's terms, and he's quick to spot areas of leverage and concern.”
