Background

About Luis E. Rivera

An astute litigator with extensive experience counseling clients in business litigation, bankruptcy, creditors’ rights, and insolvency. I help clients navigate some of the most difficult situations faced by businesses, including complex business litigation, bankruptcy, creditors’ rights, and insolvency matters. A trusted advisor, I am one of only ten attorneys in Florida who is board certified in Business Bankruptcy Law and Consumer Bankruptcy by the American Board of Certification and one of only two court-appointed fiduciaries who administers Chapter 7 bankruptcy cases in Southwest Florida. Among my peers, I am known for my deep industry knowledge and established relationships within Florida courts. I have been praised by clients for my thorough understanding of complex financial matters and my ability to simplify the complicated bankruptcy process and creditors’ rights. My bankruptcy experience includes representation of lenders, individuals, and financial institutions in both consumer (Chapter 7 and 13) and Chapter 11 reorganization cases, as well as involuntary and discharge proceedings. I also have extensive experience in a variety of business and general civil litigation matters, including contract disputes, real property litigation, mortgage foreclosure, land/tenant disputes, and title insurance litigation. In addition to my work with clients, I also use my financial and legal experience throughout the Southwest Florida community. Most recently, I was appointed by Governor Ron DeSantis to the Florida Gulf Coast University Board of Trustees.
