About
I have over 20 years of experience in the practice areas of litigation, bankruptcy, insolvency, workouts and receiverships. I concentrate my practice on both bankruptcy/insolvency matters and commercial and business litigation.I have considerable experience handling a wide variety of business, commercial and real estate litigation involving discovery, taking and defending depositions, pretrial motions, settlement negotiations and mediation. I have assisted many clients with workouts and settlements of large class actions. In both my litigation practice and bankruptcy practice, I assess litigation and make recommendations for settlement, strategy and potential recovery or potential defenses. I have served as outside litigation counsel for Quest Software, Inc., Qwest Communications International, Inc. (acquired by CenturyLink, Inc.), and numerous other privately held companies in various industries, working with their in-house counsel or management to resolve litigation or to settle claims prior to the filing of a complaint.I have extensive experience representing chapter 7 and chapter 11 trustees, debtors, secured and unsecured creditors, creditors’ committees, equity committees, officers and directors, asset purchasers and other parties in chapter 11 reorganization proceedings and in Chapter 7 liquidation proceedings. I have significant bankruptcy-related litigation experience representing trustees and creditors in adversary proceedings. This bankruptcy-related litigation experience includes discovery, taking and defending depositions, trial briefing, settlement negotiations, mediation and trial in connection with preference, fraudulent conveyance, lien avoidance proceedings, and other state law based adversary proceedings.

Reviews
As an HR Manager and Management Representative for my company, I was commissioned to find an outstanding Bankruptcy Attorney due to a customers insolvency. I retained the services of WGLLP and Reem Bello was the primary Attorney working on the case. Reem exceed my company's expectations by obtaining a settlement prior to trial and saved our company over $300,000.00. Reem was informative, professional and responsive to our requests for information. I have another customer bankruptcy case coming up this year and Reem Bello is the first person I contacted to handle the matter.
Ms. Bello handled a case in which our client filed bankruptcy and originally we were served with a declaration to repay close to $500k in receivables for services performed. Ms. Bello worked diligently to negotiate this repayment to less than 20%. Throughout the period of time this case took to resolve, she consistently provided status on the case. She explained the details of the case in terms I could understand and completely answered any questions I posed. This case brought to light some areas of exposure for our company and as a result, Ms. Bello helped us proactively set up processes that should protect us in terms of negotiating contracts with current and future clients. I have consulted her on another issue since this case was resolved and she has proven to be knowledgeable in all areas of bankruptcy issues. She is a trusted resource.
My company has been a long-time client of Reem's as she embodies the characteristics that we look for in outside counsel. She is smart, efficient, and reliable. Whenever I have questions regarding my company's many bankruptcy matters I feel very comfortable going to Reem as I know I will get a timely response that will protect the company's interests.
