About Richard Neil Gottlieb

I've been a practicing attorney for more than 34 years now. I graduated from the New England School of Law in Boston with my Juris Doctor cum laude and went on to receive my Master of Laws and Letters in American banking Law Studies from Boston University School of Law.  I worked for the FDIC as thier primary bankruptcy counsel in the New England area for about 6-1/2  years from 1990 to 1996. In 1995 I received dual Board Certification from the American Bankruptcy Board of Certification (now the American Board of Certification) in both Consumer and Business Bankruptcy Law as separate disciplines. I have been re-certified by the ABC in 2000, 2005 and 2010 since my original certification. I have operated my own boutique law practice since June of 1996 in the Metro-Boston Area representing, Debtors, Creditors and Trustees in Bankruptcy. I have also served as adjunct factulty in courses on Bankruptcy law at Bently University, New England School of Law and Northeastern University Law School, as well as giving seminars on bankruptcy law to Massachusetts District Court Judges and Massachusetts Probate and family Court Judges. One of the nicest things that my colleagues and clients have repeatedly told me (and others) is that my approach to bankruptcy practice is very "creative" and that I am able to look at problems using a very much "outside the box" approach, so that even where a client has "dug themselves a hole", I am able to salvage their situation so as to protect their practical interests, not just their technical legal rights. I take great pride in coming up with practical solutions to difficult issues that push the envelope of what is possible, even using something as complex as the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.
