Michael Sweet was quoted in The Detroit News article "Detroit Bankruptcy Ruling Poses Risks, Challenges." While the full text can be found in the December 2, 2013, issue of The Detroit News, a synopsis is noted below.
A federal judge is scheduled to rule on Detroit's application for bankruptcy relief on Tuesday, in a decision that attorneys say could either set the stage for an orderly resolution of the city's debt or lead to a financial free-for-all.

It's a race to the courthouse among creditors to see who gets the Warhol first," said Michael Sweet.
