When Chris Byrd took over previous representation of a highly contested oil and gas case for Platinum Drilling, in U.S. Bankruptcy Court, our company's interests in excess of three six million dollars, was in jeopardy and unprotected. The case was complex because it involved numerous issues of fraud, breach of contract, theft, competing liens and creditors and required quick action. Mr. Byrd was successful during trial of stopping the bad actor of using cash collateral and forced a recovery of all company assets. As a direct result of Mr. Byrd's skillful strategy and lawyering our company was able to obtain judgment and recover all moneys due. The case was successfully resolved and Platinum Drilling was able to resume its business.
