Most recently, I represented a borrower in default and I brought in Michael to impose some financial discipline on the borrower, Michael immediately established himself as trustworthy tp the lender, who had confidence in his numbers. When we agreed on the settlement going forward one of the lender’s stipulations was that Michael continue to prepare all the financials because the lender knew that his numbers would be good, reliable and trustworthy.”
