Al Togut doesn’t look like a bankruptcy lawyer. At least he doesn’t think so.
“Im too tall,” the 6-foot-5 Togut says, sleeves rolled up and tie loosened as he holds forth in the slightly messy Manhattan office where he has worked for more than 25 years. His walls and desk are littered with reminders of some of the more interesting places his career has taken him: a photo of a grinning Togut surrounded by the Rockettes; a silver bullet from a company that owned the rights to The Lone Ranger; a caricature of actor Zero Mostel plucked from the wall of legendary Broadway-haunt Sardi’s. “Seriously, you go to bankruptcy functions and everyone is 5-foot-9.”
