Lucas L. Schneider

Experience

Independently tried an objection to the plan in In re Windstream Holdings, Inc., et al., Case No. 19-22312, arguing the plan was not feasible due to the debtors' lack of reserving for cure claims with critical vendors. 

Litigated and resolved, through two distinct settlements with a national brick and mortar retailer and its 363 purchaser, cure and administrative claims valued at seven-figures, strategically collaborating with the client's business personnel to leverage the resolution.

Lucas successfully litigated and negotiated a seven-figure cure payment on behalf of a utility in a telecom bankruptcy in the SDNY.

He obtained dismissal of an insurance client on claims of the client receiving fraudulent transfers.

He managed litigation with outside counsel on a $500,000 mechanic’s lien case involving technical space in California.

He managed and litigated a multimillion dollar creditor claim related to extensive equipment installed in a hotel/casino, obtaining contempt findings against the opposition and a writ to marshals to assist in retrieval.

He has investigated, negotiated and resolved pre-suit matters regarding issues such as restoration of technical space, a long-haul fiber hut erroneously sold at a property tax sale, and franchise fee disputes.

He represented a Colorado power supply seller in a suit against a Georgia-based purchaser. After defeating the purchaser in motion practice in Colorado, he obtained a Rule 37 judgment for over $200,000, domesticated the same in Georgia with co-counsel, and garnished over half of the judgment value.

Lucas represented a Wisconsin-based private creditor in a work-out with a Colorado-based real estate developer; he was responsible for initially extending the applicable note and deed of trust while overseeing the satisfaction of a subordinated carryback loan, followed by advising on and preparing a forbearance agreement after the note matured without full payment.
