Overview
Stichter, Riedel, Blain & Postler, P.A., is an 19-lawyer firm, founded in 1974, specializing in the representation of parties in bankruptcy and insolvency matters, out-of-court workouts, complex commercial transactions, and related civil litigation. The largest segment of the firm's practice consists of the representation of corporate debtors in Chapter 11 cases. The firm's clients range from small companies to large publicly-owned corporations. Most cases involve companies with assets, liabilities, or annual revenues in excess of $5 million, ranging in size to companies with assets and liabilities of more than $3 billion. The firm has been named by its peers as the premier mid-size business firm in the State of Florida for five consecutive years and, despite its comparatively small size, won recognition in 2014 from the Florida Supreme Court for its extraordinary provision of pro bono services over an extended period of time - the only firm so recognized that year. An extraordinarily high percentage of our lawyers are rated AV by Martindale-Hubbell (79%). Similarly, as reflected elsewhere in this site, the percentages of our lawyers listed in other leading peer review surveys are the highest, or among the highest, in the state. Simply stated, we are equipped to staff and handle the largest cases and transactions within our areas of expertise. We invite you to study the credentials and the experience of our attorneys, including the two hundred fifty representative cases listed on our website. Most of our cases come by way of referrals from other professionals or former clients. Our high ratings are simply a reflection of interviews by independent third parties with our clients or of the votes of other lawyers and judges. While we are proud of our ratings, our dedicated staff, and our public awards, the decisions of our clients to trust us with their legal matters and the decisions of other lawyers and accountants to refer their trusted clients to us are our ultimate endorsement.
