We Are Zealous, Determined & Relentless.

We live in challenging economic times that are all about dollars and cents, but too often without the “sense” that is needed to be successful. With litigation, in the end, there is always something to gain and something to lose.

Whether litigating for trustees and fiduciaries to collect assets from others, or defending parties whose entitlement to their own assets is being challenged, Forman Holt brings sense to the equation. Any client that needs a committed advocate for their interests in any dispute who provides perspective and balance will be well served by our attorneys.

Our skill in litigation includes solid expertise in bankruptcy-related litigation, reputation for money-saving efficiency, diverse clients, from small businesses to Fortune 500 corporations, multi-jurisdictional practice, adept at business counseling, proven success in collection matters, decades of experience in general commercial litigation and foreclosure.

We have diverse experience and have handled hundreds of suits to:

  • Recover fraudulently transferred assets and property interests, including Ponzi Schemes
  • Recover concealed and non-disclosed assets
  • Recover against directors and officers for violations of fiduciary responsibilities
  • Foreclosure mortgages against property
  • Recover collateral to pay outstanding obligations
  • Collect debts in and out of bankruptcy
  • Liquidation of collateral
  • Clear land title from liens
  • Protect spousal rights in bankruptcy proceedings
  • Recover insurance proceeds
