Jennifer D. Cruz

As a Houston bankruptcy attorney focused on creditors’ rights, Jennifer counsels national and regional banks, financial institutions, and commercial lenders in complex consumer and commercial bankruptcy matters. She represents clients in Chapter 7, Chapter 11, and Chapter 13 bankruptcy proceedings, restructurings, debtor-creditor disputes, bankruptcy litigation, loan workouts, and unfair trade practice claims, helping them mitigate risk and maximize recovery in distressed situations.

Jennifer brings valuable courtroom perspective from her service as a judicial law clerk to the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California and as a staff attorney to a Chapter 13 Bankruptcy Trustee in the Western District of Louisiana. This experience provides her with practical insight into court procedures, trustee administration, lien priority disputes, claim objections, and the strategic considerations that influence outcomes in bankruptcy cases.
