DelCotto Law Group

What DelCotto Law Group does

Gartland Thacker DelCotto PLLC, doing business as DelCotto Law Group, is a Lexington, Kentucky-based boutique law firm founded in 2003 and operated as a privately held professional limited liability company (PLLC). The firm concentrates its practice in bankruptcy, financial restructuring, commercial litigation, and alternative dispute resolution, representing both business debtors and creditors, court-appointed fiduciaries, and individuals across all four consumer/business bankruptcy chapters (Chapters 7, 11, 12, and 13), plus Chapter 9 municipal matters. It operates two physical offices (Lexington headquarters in a historic Gratz Park building and Danville) and serves clients in federal and state courts throughout Kentucky with occasional Southeastern U.S. engagements.

The firm's service portfolio is organized around business bankruptcy, individual bankruptcy, business litigation, debt restructuring/workouts, assignment for the benefit of creditors, receivership, and mediation. It has built a vertically segmented practice across thirteen named industries (Coal, Dealerships, Equine, Farming and Agriculture, Healthcare and Senior Living, Manufacturing, Non-Profits, Oil and Gas, Private Equity, Real Estate, Restaurants and Hospitality, Retail, Trucking and Logistics), supplementing core bankruptcy work with court-appointed fiduciary mandates such as creditor committees, trustees, and receivers.

Revenue is generated exclusively through professional services billings on a quote/engagement-letter basis tied to matter complexity. The firm has no external funding, no disclosed revenue figures, no proprietary technology platform, and no AI/ML capabilities disclosed; its only disclosed technology integration is LawPay for online payment processing across consultation, invoice, and escrow/retainer flows. Client acquisition is dominated by referrals and professional networks (attorneys, CPAs, court appointments), supplemented by content marketing via blog, a 50+ page free bankruptcy ebook, and organic social presence on Facebook and LinkedIn.
