I am a practicing lawyer who lives and works in Manhattan, and specializes in Bankruptcy, Corporate Restructuring and Creditors' Rights, Commercial Litigation and Real Estate Law. I grew up in the New York City Area, and am a graduate of the University at Buffalo (B.A. 1976) and Fordham University School of Law (J.D. 1980). I have a wide variety of interests, but am particularly interested in history, politics, economics/finance and religious affairs, and am a frequent writer on a variety of those topics, and others. On a personal note, I'm a 65 year old man, married for 38 years, with two wonderful grown and accomplished daughters. Legal topics of interest may be found on my blogsite, http://warrenrgrahamlegal.blogspot.com, while non-legal commentary may be found at http://warrenrgraham.blogspot.com. The content of these sites will be centralized and easily accessed locations for both legal and non-legal analysis and commentary, as well as a description of my legal practice for clients and potential clients. Keep checking back, as I expect the content to change and grow regularly.

A Special Word to Clients and Prospective Clients

From: Warren R. Graham

I am, as you can see from my profile, an attorney specializing in bankruptcy and creditors’ rights, corporate restructuring, commercial litigation, immigration law, and criminal representation. My practice is geared towards problem solving.  In the commercial side of my practice, I can help your business solve its problems efficiently, economically, and with a practical understanding of your needs. I invite you to e-mail me or contact me by phone in connection with any legal needs that you have. Consider the following:

What can my colleagues and I do to solve YOUR problem?

Our bankruptcy and creditors’ rights practice has several components:

--In representing distressed enterprises, we partner strategically with ailing, closely-held or family-owned businesses to save their companies, by keeping the ‘wolves from the door’ while working to recapture the value that made the companies succeed in the first place.

--In representing creditors, we help develop strategies to assist creditors caught in the bankruptcy/restructuring maze to recover on their claims quickly and to minimize their problem receivable.

--In representing Landlords, we help real estate owner/developers minimize, or even eliminate the risk of getting stuck in protracted tenant bankruptcy cases, in which the owner/developer frequently has to deal with uncertainty, while ultimately realizing little or none of the leasehold value.

--We help develop strategies for buyers of distressed assets to maximize the realization of value while defraying legal and due diligence expense through the vehicles of ‘break-up’ and ‘topping’ fees.

As noted above, we also specialize in all types of commercial litigation, with a particular emphasis on real estate and contractual disputes.

We can help solve immigration difficulties, and we know how to navigate the challenging and ever-shifting legal problems facing aliens no matter what their immigration status.

Our criminal practice is geared to both white collar work, as well as more convention State criminal charges which our clients face, from time tim time.

If any of these solutions sound right for your particular issue, please feel free to contact me to schedule a complimentary consultation. Also, feel free to request your absolutely free subscriptions to the two e-books I have published, one crafted especially for the creditor and landlord who need to understand their rights under the new bankruptcy laws and the other directed at owners/managers of closely-held family businesses in financial distress. Feel free, at the same time, to ask to be placed on our list for monthly updates and bulletins from our bankruptcy and creditors’ rights practice. There is no obligation, of course, and you can always “opt out” at any time. All you need to do is leave your name and contact information with us, and we will take care of the rest.

Also, let us know whether your organization might be benefited by receiving an in-person presentation or seminar by attorneys from our creditors' rights and bankruptcy department at our firm to help you understand these changes, and what they might mean to your business. You simply cannot afford to rely on your understanding of the bankruptcy laws as they existed before October 17, 2005. The changes are, quite simply, too profound and wide-ranging. Please do not hesitate to bookmark this site, and check back regularly for recent developments and reports which will, I expect, be of value to you in your business. I look forward to hearing from you.

Re: Response to COVID-19 Crisis and Resultant Economic Challenge

Dear Friends and Colleagues:

As our existing clients consider the current and near-term business environment, which threatens, by any metric, unprecedented difficulties, our bankruptcy and restructuring practice is becoming busier, virtually by the day. and I wanted to bring you up to date, and encourage any of you, whether you are individuals, business partnerships, LLC's or corporations, facing difficulties, either as debtors or creditors, to reach out to me promptly to discuss any such problems, in order to formulate strategies to address them quickly and successfully. There is, of course, no obligation, until and unless a formal retainer is arranged.

As a small office we are certain to be very competitive as to cost. This, of course is (and should be) an important consideration for any person or entity; but more competitive pricing should not suggest any lack of quality service or sophisticated or creative strategic thinking and planning.

I have almost 40 years of experience representing both creditor and debtor sides of workouts and bankruptcy matters.  Over that lengthy period, my clients have included debtors, creditors, creditors’ committees, numerous landlords, and virtually any and all constituencies that one might find in an insolvency scenario.

We are often the recipient of referrals from other law firms, which either lack a bankruptcy practice, or who have a conflict, and who understand that, as opposed to sending a valued client out for a specific problem, to a larger firm with a bankruptcy practice, and risking having that client "poached" by that other firm, we have no such designs, as we are not a full-service firm, and more importantly, the referral flow and loyalty to our friends and colleagues who send work our way is paramount.

I have appeared in Courts all over the U.S., and can help craft a solution to your problem wherever you are. Indeed, we have significant experience in Chapter 15 Cases, representing companies in foreign insolvency cases, who need their U.S. based assets protected.

I look forward to discussing your particular issue at our mutual convenience.

I can best be reached by phone or text, at (917) 885-2370, or via email (showarg@gmail.com). If I cannot get to your phone call, please be assured that I will return your call very promptly.

Please remember that there is no charge for an initial consultation, and that the sooner one starts to map out a strategic plan, the higher the probability of its success.

Sincerely,

Warren R. Graham
