Jim Angell concentrates his practice in debtor/creditor issues and bankruptcy law. He is a Business Bankruptcy Specialist, certified by the North Carolina State Board of Legal Specialization and by the American Board of Certification, and a Certified Public Accountant, certified by the state of North Carolina. He is also certified to conduct mediations in North Carolina Superior Court by the North Carolina Dispute Resolution Commission.
Jim has almost two decades of experience representing creditors and debtors in out-of-court workouts and Chapter 7 (liquidation) and Chapter 11 (reorganization) bankruptcies. He has appeared in business Chapter 11 cases involving such diverse industries as real estate development, construction, manufacturing and production, retail sales, restaurants, and service industries. He is also experienced in representing individuals in Chapter 7 and Chapter 11 cases involving complicated tax issues and domestic issues. His background in accounting and taxation allows him to review and understand business problems in a way that many lawyers cannot.
Having the experience of representing debtors, creditors and serving as a Chapter 7 and Chapter 11 trustee provides him a unique advantage in representing clients in bankruptcy. Having represented all of the interested parties, Jim is aware of the goals, risks, strengths and weaknesses of each of them, and, therefore, the tools available for litigating and negotiating. Jim's litigation skills, learned both in and out of Bankruptcy Court, have served him well.
Jim serves on the North Carolina State Bar Board of Specialization, and as a member of the North Carolina Bar Association CLE Committee. Jim has served as chairman of several committees of the North Carolina Bar Association Bankruptcy Section.
