Plunkett & Gibson, Inc.
- Patrick H. Autry -


Patrick H. Autry

There are perhaps no areas of commercial law as challenging as bankruptcy and secured transactions. Not only must you understand how a transaction is supposed to work, but you must also anticipate how it could fail. In this practice the opportunity to take the deal apart presents itself nearly as often as the opportunity to put the deal together.

Having arrived in Texas in 1983, as the oil boom of that era was ending and the real estate and financial institutions disasters loomed, my timing could not have been better. Although my clients are usually creditors, creditors' committees, or trustees, Mr. Hornberger and I are well equipped to represent the business debtor.

The client is entitled to personalized legal representation. I endeavor to understand the context in which a legal issue arises. Legal problems are inherently interesting and challenging, but it is the client that makes their resolution meaningful.
