Analysis • Strategy • Results

DelCotto Law Group PLLC is a boutique law firm located in the heart of historic Gratz Park in downtown Lexington, Kentucky. Our size and focus ensure that clients receive individualized attention and advice in a team environment. Our attorneys and staff care about our clients and are passionate about helping people during difficult times.

With over 100 years of combined attorney and paraprofessional experience, we take pride in being able to identify and assess all viable strategies for achieving a client's particular goals. Our experience includes:

  • Business and Individual Bankruptcies
    • Chapter 7
    • Chapter 9
    • Chapter 11
    • Chapter 12
    • Chapter 13
  • Debt Restructurings & Workouts

  • Commercial Litigation
  • Debtor and Creditor Relations
  • Mediations and Alternative Dispute Resolutions

Analysis - We understand each client is different. By taking the time and effort to analyze each situation and identify options, our clients make better decisions on which course of action is best for them. We realize more than one solution to a problem exists, so bankruptcy is considered only when less drastic options are ineffective or unavailable. We use our years of experience in the bankruptcy and restructuring areas to generate tailored and creative options to address specific client needs.

Strategy - From helping save an individual's home from foreclosure to avoiding the liquidation of a business to dealing with litigation and defaults, the DLG teams brainstorm on identifying all possible strategies and assessing which will achieve the best outcomes. Once a strategy is chosen, we stay in close contact with our clients and establish a constructive and effective relationship with them. Alternate strategies to obtain the best results are continually considered as we move forward. As part of this strategic process, costs and time for different options are weighed and explored to ensure the best method for each situation is used.

Results - In or out of court, DLG helps you resolve the financial and commercial disputes you face. We are results-oriented and pragmatic. We identify a client's end goals and reverse-engineer the steps to accomplish them, changing course as warranted. We proactively communicate with opposing counsel to create movement and results.

Knowledge - Through our years of experience, we are familiar with the process, the courts, opposing counsel, bankruptcy trustees, and various local, regional and national lenders. We understand what each party is searching for. We are aware of the nuances of debtor/creditor laws and anticipate what opposing counsel may do. We actively seek consensual results, but if unachievable we are prepared to handle all levels of litigation. We have worked within many different industries, each facing their own unique issues, including healthcare, mining, retail, restaurant, trucking, oil and gas, dealerships and franchises, builders and developers, equine, agricultural, consumer, telecommunications and manufacturing, among others.

Please explore our website for more information and educational materials. We look forward to helping you through tough times.
