Howard C. Meyers: The Scottsdale Bankruptcy Attorney With a Rare Dual National Certification

Anyone comparing a Scottsdale bankruptcy attorney with a genuinely rare dual national certification will find Howard C. Meyers distinctive — one of only 15 attorneys in the Phoenix area holding a Business Bankruptcy Specialist certification from the American Board of Certification, alongside a second certification in creditors’ rights. This independent profile examines what that Scottsdale bankruptcy attorney practice actually offers.

At a Glance

Origin and Founder History

Howard C. Meyers earned his J.D. from Arizona State University’s Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law and was admitted to the Arizona bar in 1977. He now serves as Of Counsel at Rose Law Group in Scottsdale. This platform independently confirmed his continuous Super Lawyers selection from 2010 through 2026 — 16 consecutive years — directly against Super Lawyers’ own published attorney directory, one of the longer continuous streaks documented in this batch. He also holds dual national certification from the American Board of Certification: Business Bankruptcy Specialist and Creditors’ Rights Specialist, a combination the firm’s own materials describe as held by only about 15 attorneys in the Phoenix area.

Practice Area Breakdown

Meyers’s practice is explicitly creditor-oriented: representing banks, commercial finance companies, and equipment lessors in Chapter 11 reorganization cases, with extensive experience in contested matters involving cash collateral disputes, motions to lift the automatic stay, valuation issues, executory contract disputes, and opposition to plan confirmation. He has also represented bankruptcy trustees in Chapter 7 and Chapter 11 cases and represented debtors-in-possession in successfully concluded Chapter 11 reorganizations — giving him experience on both sides despite his primarily creditor-oriented current practice. His non-bankruptcy litigation experience covers injunctions, receiverships, real estate and commercial finance, guaranties, fraudulent transfers, and business torts, often in cases with multi-state or multinational complexity.

Case Outcomes

The firm’s own published case summaries include specific, named results: bankruptcy due diligence counsel to the purchaser of the largest package of secured real estate loans and joint venture interests purchased from the Resolution Trust Corporation, involving multiple borrower and co-venturer Chapter 11 proceedings; and representation of a secured creditor in a UCC sale of a 70-store grocery chain, consummated by a credit bid exceeding $144,000,000, with a special purpose entity assuming ownership and operation. Past results do not guarantee similar outcomes in any future case; case results depend entirely on the specific facts of each matter.

Client Voice

Public sourcing for this profile did not surface named, attributed client reviews specific to Meyers on independent platforms — consistent with a practice serving institutional creditor clients (banks, finance companies) rather than individual consumers who typically leave public reviews. Consistent with this platform’s standard, no client testimonial is included in this profile.

Beyond the Courtroom

Meyers was named one of four “Legacy Lawyers” recognized by PHOENIX magazine in 2023, and was separately included in PHOENIX magazine’s peer-voted “Top Lawyers 2025” list — a selection process the magazine describes as an online vote open only to practicing Greater Phoenix attorneys.

Recognition

Independently verified: Super Lawyers selection, 2010 through 2026 (16 consecutive years), confirmed directly against Super Lawyers’ own published attorney directory; membership in the Commercial Law League of America, corroborated across independent legal-directory sources.

Firm-stated: Dual American Board of Certification credentials (Business Bankruptcy Specialist, Creditors’ Rights Specialist) and PHOENIX magazine’s “Legacy Lawyer” and “Top Lawyers” recognitions are presented per the firm’s own materials.

Arizona Legal Backdrop

Bankruptcy is federal law (11 U.S.C.), filed in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Arizona. Creditor-side practice in Chapter 11 cases frequently involves motions to lift the automatic stay (11 U.S.C. § 362(d)), which a secured creditor can file to resume enforcement of a lien against collateral, and cash-collateral disputes under 11 U.S.C. § 363, which restrict a debtor’s use of a secured creditor’s collateral absent consent or court approval. This is general legal information, not legal advice specific to any individual’s circumstances.

Awesome Attorneys Assessment

Meyers’s dual national certification (a combination held by only about 15 Phoenix-area attorneys, per the firm) and his independently-confirmed 16-year Super Lawyers streak are genuine, well-documented credentials, and his published case results include specific, checkable dollar figures rather than vague claims. The honest note: this is a creditor-side, institutional-client practice — banks, finance companies, secured lenders — not a consumer debt-relief practice, and readers looking for personal Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 filing help should look to the consumer-focused firms elsewhere in this batch.

Methodology and Sourcing

This profile draws on Rose Law Group’s own website (published case summaries and recognition announcements), Super Lawyers’ published attorney directory, and America’s Top 100 Attorneys’ published attorney profile.
