For experienced counsel in any aspect of workouts, restructuring or Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings or other high-value business matters, we encourage you to turn to the attorneys of Logan, Yumkas, Vidmar & Sweeney, LLC. We are based in Annapolis, Maryland, but also admitted in Virginia, New York and Washington, D.C.

We have handpicked our roster of dedicated lawyers to offer excellence in the delivery of collaborative, top-quality services. Additional areas of strength for our firm include:

- Regulatory compliance
- Liquidations and receiverships
- Insurance claims and coverage disputes
- Creditors' committee representation
Business Law Counsel and Negotiation, Mediation or Litigation
Our attorneys are some of the best-known names in bankruptcy law practice in Maryland and Virginia, with high-profile case experience that extends back decades and across the spectrum of debtors and creditor representation. Our members' credentials largely speak for themselves, including:
- Leadership— provided by three former presidents of the Bankruptcy Bar Association for the District of Maryland
- Paul Sweeney's past service as a court-appointed trustee in prominent Chapter 11 business reorganization matters such as the Psychic Friends Network case, and his multimillion-dollar recoveries from AT&T and MCI-WorldCom for the benefit of creditors
- James Vidmar's distinction as the first lawyer in Maryland to be certified in bankruptcy law by the American Bankruptcy Board of Certification
- Lawrence Yumkas' proven settlement structuring and negotiating ability, as manifested in identifying alternatives to foreclosure sales on major properties and a range of other workouts on behalf of distressed borrowers — within and outside bankruptcy proceedings
- James Schraf's experience in dozens of jury trials and other state and federal litigation
A Commanding, Balanced Presence in Your Bankruptcy Case or Workout Effort
We have earned the respect of court officials, our competitors and our clients for creativity as well as legal skill and integrity. Our attorneys are prepared to confront and resolve the most complex situations on behalf of debtors, creditors and bankruptcy trustees, providing:
- Aggressive, highly informed creditors' committee representation
- Resourceful administration of liquidations and receiverships
- Distinguished service as court-appointed receivers and trustees in high-value bankruptcy cases
We have resolved numerous disputes over many millions of dollars, often involving intense conflict between lenders, borrowers and creditors.
