Field Jerger attorneys are accomplished litigators — fastidious about every detail of the cases we select and the clients we represent.

• We litigate each case in preparation for victory at trial and any subsequent appeal.

• Our purposeful litigation and economic realities often lead to favorable pre-trial settlements.

• When satisfactory pre-trial resolution is not possible, we passionately conduct trials and perform any necessary follow-up appeals work.

We serve as local counsel for major national and overseas law firms. We litigate commercial cases along with every order of financial fraud including real estate, investment and development deals gone awry. 

Statistically, below ten percent of commercial cases make it through trial. These are often the high stakes matters and grey-area cases. Trial success demands meticulous attention to the finest details including comprehensive mastery of the relevant facts and total understanding of the applicable law. Equally important are the ability to distill complex facts and circumstances into a simple and sympathetic courtroom presentation, and the talent to persuasively present in court.

Field Jerger represents creditors, debtors, equity participants, asset purchasers, third party litigants and other interested parties, giving us insight into all facets of the debtor-creditor relationship.

We specialize in bankruptcy litigation to protect creditors’ rights and have represented a wide range of creditors — from individuals to major corporations — in bankruptcy court. We have served as counsel for official committees of unsecured creditors and for secured creditors and other parties in significant chapter 11 bankruptcy cases. In addition to our creditor work, we have represented numerous debtors with significant financial and legal issues.

We successfully navigate debtors through the bankruptcy process and negotiate with their creditors to help them emerge from bankruptcy with financial stability. We also have extensive experience in defending and prosecuting preferences, fraudulent transfers, lien discharges, and dischargeability actions.

When bad faith debtors retreat to bankruptcy to avoid fraud claims and judgments, we file adversary proceedings to remedy frauds and to collect money.
