Jeffrey R. Fine
Member
Jeff Fine is the “go-to” lawyer when financial or business relationships rupture, creditors and other stakeholders seek recoveries, or insolvency becomes an issue.
For creditors, public and private businesses, high net worth individuals, and those working out complex business and financial problems, Jeff brings decades of broad experience to achieve pragmatic solutions. Whether inside or outside the courtroom, he tenaciously works with his clients to solve their problems.
From niche family businesses to large corporations, Jeff has counseled clients in various industries. His forte is helping clients prioritize issues by separating immediate concerns from background noise. He adheres to a straightforward philosophy—stay calm, figure out the problem, explain it to the client, and collaboratively devise a solution. It’s an approach he often takes to deliver successful outcomes in even the most dire of scenarios.
“'One riot, one ranger.' Don’t bring more lawyers to the table than you need. I leverage my talented Dykema colleagues when it makes sense for the client and the situation, but I’m judicious about it.”
