Testimonials
“As the former CFO and board member of a public company that filed bankruptcy after my tenure, I was sued by the bankruptcy trustee for alleged breaches of fiduciary duties. I believed these claims had no merit and that the trustee was improperly blaming me and my fellow board members for the actions of others. Eric Madden did a fantastic job in successfully defending us. Eric formulated a strategy for defeating the trustee’s claims, and then he executed that strategy perfectly. He was diligent and thorough, while handling the case with the utmost of efficiency. He also kept us well informed and promptly answered our many questions along the way. ”

More than that, they were inspirational.”
“After 10 years in business partnership, our general partner sold the company for a sizable profit, but refused to distribute anything to our limited partners. I needed a trial lawyer specializing in partnership disputes, and was directed to Ladd Hirsch, one of the finest attorneys I have had the pleasure to know. Ladd listened closely to me, asked the right questions to determine my needs, worked out a fair retention agreement and mapped out a strategic plan with a defined timeline for my lawsuit.”
“It took years of research, diligent pursuit of my claims and the extraordinary skill of Ladd and his trial team to bring my case to a satisfying resolution. It was my good fortune to be represented by an energetic attorney who demonstrated not only excellent legal competence, but also ethical principles that guided his actions. Due to Ladd’s fine legal work and his personal commitment to my case, I received a proper dissolution of a family business legacy and the fair distribution of my family’s equity.”
“Diamond McCarthy obtained a substantial settlement that far exceeded my expectations and the expectations of the creditors’ committee that benefitted from the settlement. The Diamond McCarthy attorneys I worked with were among the smartest, most conscientious, best prepared I have ever encountered. They got a great result in a cost-effective manner in an extremely difficult case. Moreover, this firm was not afraid to put its money where its mouth was – they agreed to bear some of the risk of the litigation, which ultimately allowed them and their client to benefit from the fee arrangement. I highly recommend this firm.”
