In today’s turbulent economic climate, business bankruptcy is a very real risk for creditors. When a business files for bankruptcy, there can be a domino effect, threatening the financial security of other companies to which money is owed. Proactive creditors with skilled creditors’ rights attorneys on their side often get paid first.

Over the past 30 years, Doré Rothberg Law, P.C. has helped hundreds of clients in creditors’ rights cases. We work to protect the interests of our clients as soon as they become aware of their customers’ financial difficulties, and at every stage of the bankruptcy process. Doré Rothberg represents business creditors in a broad spectrum of industries, including energy and real estate.

While many firms get spooked when the opposing side claims “bankruptcy,” Doré Rothberg jumps at that opportunity to recover for its clients. From the moment we get involved, we’re ready to handle potential bankruptcy concerns. Our team has been involved with bankruptcies all over the country, including Houston, Tennessee, Delaware, and New York.
