Dan has spent his career working with distressed individuals and businesses. His insolvency-based practice does workouts, restructuring, negotiations, and bankruptcy for consumers and entities. Dan also works on real estate transactions representing the buyer or banking institution in a property transaction or properties in distress. The experience and knowledge of dealing with loan documents supports all different kinds of parties to a transaction.

Dan’s practice has intersected many times in federal tax and state tax areas. Dan regularly files bankruptcy cases for individuals to work with tax debt. These workouts take many forms and one size does not fit all. It is Dan’s experience to craft a resolution for each individual case.
Dan has been on the cutting edge of the new small business bankruptcy law practice. He has filed many cases in Maryland and the District of Columbia under Chapter 11, Subchapter V, and recently had 2 cases in 2021 confirmed under consensual plans.
