Forshey Prostok LLP is on par with large international firms when it comes to recent bankruptcy filings, according to a recent report in The Texas Lawbook. In fact, only five law firms have filed more bankruptcy cases in Texas than 11-lawyer Forshey Prostok – and all of those firms have more than 100 attorneys on their rosters; one has more than 2,000.
