Bankruptcy litigation, from both sides of the estate.

Chapter 11 reorganizations and sales for operating businesses, and the litigation that happens inside a bankruptcy — claims, lenders, leases and adversary proceedings — in the Northern District of Texas and beyond.

What we handle

  • Debtor-side Chapter 11 reorganizations and asset sales
  • Assumption, rejection and assignment of leases
  • Claim objections and adversary proceedings
  • Lender and usury claims
  • Involuntary petitions
  • Post-confirmation matters

How we approach it

In a 2026 involuntary Chapter 11 in the Northern District of Texas we built the estate’s usury case from the original loan contracts alone: 438 obligations across 189 lenders, the usurious excess computed on every one, and a cure notice on each carrying its own limitations date so that no claim was lost to time. How that was done is the subject of John Henry’s talk at the 2026 Bankruptcy Bench Bar Conference.

Questions people ask

Do you represent creditors or debtors?

Both, depending on the case and subject to conflicts. Our Chapter 11 work has been debtor-side for operating businesses and on the estate’s litigation.
