Exhibit A — The Situation
Signs it's time to call a Texas or Oklahoma attorney, not just your lender
If any of this describes your situation in Texas or Oklahoma:
The loan portfolio has a contested lien, priority, or payoff issue
Lien documents, assignments, guaranties, and competing claims need to be evaluated together.
A workout, forbearance, or restructuring is being negotiated
The right documentation and sequencing can protect the institution while preserving a workable path for the borrower.
A borrower or regulator is challenging the institution’s conduct
A coordinated litigation and compliance response helps control exposure, records, and communications.
Exhibit B — The Process
What we do, step by step
Review the credit file
We assess the note, security instruments, guaranties, notices, payment history, and relevant correspondence.
Map the legal and operational risk
We identify jurisdiction, perfection, standing, borrower defenses, bankruptcy exposure, and decision deadlines.
Set an enforcement or workout plan
We help evaluate demand, foreclosure, receivership, litigation, settlement, or restructuring options.
Coordinate the matter
We keep litigation, documentation, internal stakeholders, and outside professionals aligned as the matter develops.
Protect the recovery objective
The goal is a defensible process and commercially informed outcome—not activity for its own sake.
