Located in Fort Lauderdale, we have the legal knowledge and experience to navigate you through the corporate bankruptcy process.

At Leiderman Shelomith, we have developed a niche of assisting small businesses with corporate bankruptcies and state court Assignments for the Benefit of Creditors. Many of our clients have had:

• Successful businesses that have been very profitable over time, but from time to time have experienced cash flow problems due to periodic declines in revenue
• Businesses on the brink of failure due to some poor business decisions or lack of attention to legal or fiscal matters
• Businesses that just didn’t work and needed to be closed or restructured in order to succeed

Often the appropriate solution to a client’s problem is beyond their ability and expertise, due to the complexity of the issues involved in restructuring debt. No matter how complex a financial problem may be, our lawyers have the requisite knowledge and experience to resolve it.

Our Corporate Bankruptcy Practice

Our corporate bankruptcy practice involves Chapter 7 and Chapter 11 bankruptcy cases, as well as state court Assignments for the Benefit of Creditors. Our boutique setting allows us to efficiently and effectively handle these types of cases at a reasonable cost to our clients, as opposed to law firms that handle only large corporate bankruptcy cases, which have larger overhead and must therefore charge higher fees.

We have assisted profit and not-for-profit companies, across all different types of industries, including, among others:

• Real estate
• Retail
• Wholesale
• Travel/Entertainment
• Professional
• Manufacturing
• Transportation
• Other service industries

We have worked with and continue to work with bankruptcy trustees, creditors and Chapter 11 creditors’ committees, giving us unique and valuable perspective on the entire corporate bankruptcy process.

At Leiderman Shelomith, we offer a free initial consultation, during which an attorney will discuss all of your company’s options, both in and out of bankruptcy. We will not advocate bankruptcy if there is a better, non-bankruptcy, alternative. We will not only provide you with our recommendations, but we will educate you about how corporate bankruptcy works and how bankruptcy impacts your company’s property and debts.

What Sets us Apart

What sets us apart from other bankruptcy law firms is our experience and our approach.

Our experience

We have over 30 years of combined legal experience practicing bankruptcy law, and we limit our practice exclusively to bankruptcy law. We have worked with and continue to work with bankruptcy trustees and creditors, giving us unique and valuable perspective on the entire bankruptcy process. While our practice is limited to bankruptcy law, we are a full service bankruptcy law firm, meaning that we can handle all types of bankruptcy cases, including liquidations and reorganizations. We have been recognized as among the very best attorneys in the State of Florida, and our attorneys are frequent lecturers on the subject of bankruptcy law.

Our approach

Our approach is that we believe our clients are people, not numbers. We treat all of our clients with respect, compassion and understanding. We ensure that every bankruptcy case is handled with the utmost care, precision and expertise. Unlike bankruptcy “mills”, which churn out client after client, our clients are given the personal care and attention that they deserve, through every step of the process.

At Leiderman Shelomith, we have the ability to handle all aspects of your bankruptcy case, including bankruptcy litigation and appeals. Call us now at (954) 920-5355 for a free consultation.
