HOUSTON (Oct. 11, 2007) - Hughes Watters Askanase L.L.P. (HWA) attorneys Henry Jakob and Cheryl Worley will be speaking at the Landlord-Tenant Law in Texas seminar on Nov. 13 in Houston. Jakob and Worley will present on the Bankruptcy Reform Act and how it affects landlords, tenants and ethics in landlord-tenant law, focusing both presentations on evictions.
Worley was chosen as a presenter because of her real estate and bankruptcy experience, and Jakob was chosen because of his experience in real estate, collections and creditors' rights.
The Landlord-Tenant Law seminar is sponsored by Sterling Education Services, a non-profit continuing legal education (CLE) company. Attendees will qualify for CLE credit. To register or for more information on this seminar, visit http://www.sterlingeducation.com/.
HWA, a law firm based in Houston, has extensive bankruptcy experience in addition to expertise in real estate, litigation, corporate transactions and consumer finance.
"As a litigator, I spend most of my time in court, so when Sterling asked us to present I said 'yes,'" said Jakob. "I'm looking forward to the opportunity to discuss ethics with other attorneys in this industry because I find the topic very interesting."
Jakob, who joined HWA in 1998, focuses his practice on consumer and commercial litigation and counsels clients on a variety of landlord/tenant disputes and proceedings in bankruptcy.
