Defending Preference Claims
Lakelaw has been noted for its ability to ferret out fraud and to recover assets in cases where others would not. Ira Bodenstein, the former United States Trustee for the Northern District of Illinois, gave a warm testimonial on linkedin.com to David Leibowitz’ work in this area where he said:
“As U. S. Trustee, I directly supervised David's work as a member of the panel of Chapter 7 Trustees. David was one of the most diligent and creative trustees on the panel. He did an outstanding job of investigating his cases and uncovering assets in cases other trustees would have missed. He also uncovered fraudulent activity that was referred for criminal prosecution. His work directly benefitted creditors in many cases where it appeared there would be no recovery. I had the upmost confidence in David.” January 11, 2007
Now, David is leading the American Bankruptcy Institute’s Commercial Fraud Task Force in the preparation and publication of a Commercial Fraud Handbook and also a Consumer Fraud Handbook.
