  • Jon Brand has been representing small business clients in connection with chapter 11 cases. He looks forward to confirming plans in the early part of 2010.

  • Carrie Zuniga won two five-figure settlements for her consumer bankruptcy clients who were victimized by creditors who tried to collect debts even after the clients filed bankruptcy cases. The Bankruptcy Judge, in his remarks from the bench, characterized her work as perhaps the most excellent work he had seen in the field, as he ruled in favor of Carrie's client.

  • David Leibowitz won a victory in bankruptcy court in Rockford, Illinois on April 29, 2009. Judge Barbosa held that Lakelaw's chapter 13 client did not have to pay all his disposable income in a chapter 13 plan as long as he paid all of his debts off in a 5 year period. This reversed Judge Barbosa's prior ruling that would have required all income to be paid and that the plan be completed in less than 5 years.

Lakelaw is the only private firm to have been so honored and is sharing this grant with the highly respected Legal Aid Society of Milwaukee.
