Biography
Lucas Rocklin is a principal at Neubert, Pepe and Monteith, P.C., where he concentrates his legal practice on representing banks, financial institutions, and other secured and unsecured creditors in a broad range of debt collection and enforcement matters. With more than two decades of experience and thousands of successfully prosecuted actions, he brings a results driven, highly efficient, and client focused approach to every engagement.
Lucas’ practice encompasses the full spectrum of creditors’ rights, including commercial and consumer collections, foreclosure actions, replevin, secured party sales under Article 9 of the UCC, fraudulent transfer litigation, prejudgment remedies, post judgment collection, evictions, and bankruptcy litigation. He also structures and negotiates workouts and settlements designed to maximize recovery while containing cost and reducing litigation exposure.
Clients value Lucas’ practical mindset, attention to detail, and consistent communication throughout the lifecycle of a matter. He understands that creditors require timely execution and cost effective strategies, and he works diligently to deliver outcomes aligned with each client’s operational and financial objectives.
In addition to his litigation and enforcement work, Lucas is a frequent author on creditors’ rights and financial services litigation. His publications offer forward looking analysis and practical guidance for lenders and creditors navigating an increasingly complex legal and regulatory landscape.
He is admitted to practice in Connecticut and New York and routinely appears in both state and federal courts throughout the region.
