Lisa Starks’ practice includes business, commercial, bankruptcy and other creditors’ rights issues, and commercial litigation and real estate matters, with a particular focus on resolving complex commercial foreclosures and receiverships. Lisa is at her best when helping clients to stabilize, rehab and sell insolvent properties.

Lisa’s creditor representation ranges from loan modification to loan enforcement in state and federal courts. These representations have led to her helping clients with the sale of real and personal property, including multi-family housing, mobile home parks, student housing, industrial buildings, office buildings, retail centers, hotels and housing developments. Lisa also represents court-appointed receivers and co-chairs the firm’s Receiverships Practice Group.

At the heart of Lisa’s practice is clear client communication and the design of an actionable road map to gaining control over distressed property.
