In addition, Bill is a member of the firm’s agribusiness group and represents ag servicers/suppliers in drafting their contracts/credit applications and prosecuting their lien and payment claims.  Bill has represented a variety of lien claimants in state receivership actions and Chapter 11 bankruptcy actions.  Lastly, Bill helps small to mid-size businesses with their general legal needs, including drafting/reviewing contracts and collection of their accounts receivable.  He has prosecuted over 100 collection cases to judgment.  Because debtors sometimes attempt to hide assets or do not voluntarily pay the judgment entered against them, Bill also has extensive experience in pre-judgment provisional process and post-judgment collection enforcement.
