Posted on February 17th, 2025 | Filed under Press Releases

Veteran Forshey Prostok bankruptcy, reorganization lawyers join complex commercial litigation firm

FORT WORTH, Texas, Feb. 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Vartabedian Hester & Haynes has added a veteran team of seven commercial bankruptcy and restructuring attorneys, continuing a rapid pace of growth that has seen the firm more than double in size since opening a year ago.

Since forming in early 2024, Vartabedian Hester & Haynes has established itself as a leading choice for business clients who want smart, sophisticated and business-focused representation and an alternative to the large law firm model. The merger with attorneys from the Forshey Prostok law firm brings the Fort Worth-based firm’s headcount to 24.

The latest additions include former Forshey Prostok co-founders Jeff Prostok and Robert Forshey, each of whom are Board Certified in Business Bankruptcy Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization and ranked by Chambers USA for their expertise in Bankruptcy/Restructuring. They join the firm as partners, along with attorneys Lynda Lankford and Suzanne Rosen. Blake Berryman and Deidre Brown join the firm as of counsel, and Emily Chou as counsel.

“This is a great team that’s poised to capture the kind of corporate restructuring and bankruptcy work that’s really taking off in Texas right now,” said founding partner Robert Vartabedian.

The bankruptcy team brings deep experience guiding businesses and creditors through complex financial restructuring, including representing businesses in the Texas oil patch and energy space. Their expertise includes representing clients in Chapter 11 reorganizations and counseling trustees in managing bankruptcy estates, as well as advising parties in bankruptcy-related asset acquisitions.

“The litigation support Vartabedian Hester & Haynes is going to provide is crucial to what we want to do. We have turned down work over the years because we didn’t have a sufficient litigation bench.” said Mr. Prostok.
