Steven M Cox

 

Steven M. Cox advises clients in a variety of bankruptcy and creditor’s rights issues. Contributing almost 40 years of experience to his practice, Steve represents creditors, debtors, trustees, examiners, buyers, creditors and creditors’ committees, and other professionals in many kinds of commercial and consumer matters, including appeals. He guides individuals as a debt relief agency, and gives counsel in business liquidation and reorganization cases. Steve’s approach is to seek out options with bankruptcy as a “last resort.”
