A member of the New Jersey State Bar Association Creditor/Debtor Section, and the Bankruptcy Law Section of the Essex County Bar Association, he has been a frequent lecturer to legal, business and accounting groups, and has been a frequent speaker at seminars sponsored by the New Jersey Institute for Continuing Legal Education.
Mr. Jurista successfully represented many Chapter 11 Debtors, landlords, Creditor’s Committees, and Trustees.
