Premier Generator Service LLC Files for Chapter 11
The company made its bankruptcy filing on April 22, 2026. Company owner Steven Withrow signed the petition before it was submitted to the court. The case is being handled in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Michigan.
Case filings on RK Consultants state that it has met the criteria for a “small business debtor” and has decided to proceed under Subchapter V of Chapter 11. Subchapter V is designed to streamline the restructuring process for small businesses.
Attorney George E. Jacobs of Bankruptcy Law Offices represents the company.
Filings Made So Far

Other filings, as also available on PACER, include a statement of financial affairs and a list of equity security holders.
Operations to Continue as Normal
Filing on PacerMonitor describes the company as a debtor-in-possession, meaning it retains control of its operations despite facing Chapter 11 proceedings.
