Roman Catholic Bishop of San Diego

The firm represented the creditors’ committee in the bankruptcy case of the Diocese of San Diego. Pleadings filed by the firm were instrumental in the bankruptcy court’s issuance of an order to show cause re contempt against the bishop, his counsel, all parishes, the parishes’ counsel, and two priests. The order resulted in the appointment of an expert whose report ultimately caused the Diocese to settle (dramatically increasing its initial offer to $198 million) and voluntarily dismiss its case.
