“Don Kramer was a pioneer in our industry – his foresight that an association was needed for creditors’ rights attorneys, his willingness to go against the status quo to create it and his unwavering belief in this Organization – has made the National Creditors Bar Association what it is today. I am proud to have known Don Kramer and I know he will be fondly remembered and appreciated by our members for a very long time.”
Yale R. Levy, President, National Creditors Bar Association
