"When Steven joined our firm as a young attorney in 2016, he came highly recommended by my late mentor, bankruptcy giant Richard Lieb, and was Dick ever right about Steve’s talents and enthusiasm for the practice of bankruptcy law. I know Steve has a great career ahead of him at our firm and look forward to working with him in the future,” said Robert Feinstein, PSZJ’s New York managing partner.
“Steve is a hard-working, fast-learning attorney, who is developing into an outstanding insolvency practitioner. We are pleased to welcome him into the Firm’s Partnership, and we look forward to Steve’s continued growth in his representation of debtors, creditors’ committees, and other significant parties of interest,” said Brad Sandler, partner, management committee member, and long-term planning committee member.
