The publishers of Chambers USA: America’s Leading Lawyers for Business today launched the 2009 Client’s Guide. Morris James partners, Stephen M. Miller and Carl N. (“Chuck”) Kunz, III, have been recognized by Chambers this year in the area of Bankruptcy/Restructuring. Mr. Miller appears in Chambers for the 5th time. Mr. Kunz appears for the second consecutive year.
In its description of the Morris James Bankruptcy and Creditors’ Rights Group, Chambers notes: “This firm has a solid reputation for creditor-side work, and also draws admiration for its work on smaller liquidation matters. The pragmatic Stephen Miller is praised for his success in interested-party work and his proficiency in both debtor and creditor matters. Carl Kunz is regarded as ‘a good, bright negotiator’ by clients, who appreciate his calm demeanor and ability to ‘keep the volume down when there is acrimony.'"
Chambers ranks law firms and attorneys in particular areas of law based upon the results of tens of thousands of interviews conducted during a six-month period. The qualities assessed during the interviews are those most valued by the client: technical legal ability, professional conduct, client service, commercial awareness, diligence, and commitment.
