Mr. Becker has been practicing bankruptcy law for the past twenty-five years. During that time, he has represented Chapter 11 debtors, financial and other major institutions, creditors' committees, trustees, individual creditors and various other interested parties in bankruptcy proceedings in New Jersey, Delaware, New York, Pennsylvania, Connecticut and South Carolina.

In addition, Mr. Becker is often called upon to lecture on emerging issues in the area of bankruptcy such as the change in the Bankruptcy Code under the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act as it relates to commercial and residential real estate. Mr. Becker is also proud to have served as a member of the New Jersey Supreme Court's District Ethics Committee.
