Effective March 10, 2008 Askounis & Borst, P.C. no longer offers legal services.

The firm is, however, continuing to operate for the purpose of collecting assets, addressing payment of obligations, and finalizing all business matters. A professional staff has been assembled, and is executing a plan for this wind down process.

A critical part of this plan includes close contact with all interested parties with respect to progress.
