Since 1986, I have provided bankruptcy assistance under chapter 7 and chapter 13 to Colorado consumers and small businesses. As a federally designated "debt relief agency," my law practice helps people file for bankruptcy relief under the Bankruptcy Code. "Bankruptcy law seems like Chinese," a client recently commented. My response? "Then I translate bankruptcy law." There is a popular myth that bankruptcy is a simple solution. For many, however, the bankruptcy process can become complicated and overwhelming -- especially after the so-called "bankruptcy reform" of the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005 (BAPCPA). In many ways, bankruptcy is a...

From 2007 to 2009, I represented mortgage lenders before the bankruptcy court while working for a local real estate litigation firm. From 2009 to 2012, I represented small to mid-sized companies in business litigation and I represented individuals in consumer rights law and bankruptcy. During the year 2012, I downsized my firm and began focusing exclusively on consumer bankruptcy law. As a well versed bankruptcy attorney, I have successfully represented hundreds of consumer bankruptcy clients from diverse economic backgrounds and professions.

A great majority of my clients have never retained an attorney previously. Criminal charges, divorce, job loss, family, business or employment problems cause individuals to find themselves ensnared in civil and/or criminal courts. Law abiding citizens are normally completely unprepared when they are served with court papers and are at a loss as to how to respond. If you are arrested you should not give any statement to the police without legal counsel. Please contact me directly if you have legal questions. If my law office cannot help you I should be able to refer you to attorneys that may...

Considering Bankruptcy?

Bankruptcy law allows debtors, who are unable or partially unable to pay outstanding debts, to rid themselves of these debts and obtain a fresh start. Both federal and state laws can affect a debtor seeking to file for bankruptcy, and an attorney can help you understand how state and federal bankruptcy laws apply to you.

If you are struggling with high debt, receiving calls from creditors or collection agencies, or facing foreclosure, garnishment of wages, or repossession of property, filing for bankruptcy may provide you with solutions.

Bankruptcy lawyers offer legal advice and services during a financial crisis. In total, there are six different types of bankruptcy. For persons seeking debt relief, one option is Chapter 7 bankruptcy, which provides for liquidation of the debtor's non-exempt assets. Another popular option for individuals is Chapter 13, which allows for management and reduction of debt through payment plans. Corporations and partnerships filing for bankruptcy often choose to file under Chapter 11, which provides for supervised reorganization of the business.

Experienced bankruptcy counsel can help you evaluate whether you should pursue a bankruptcy as well as the Chapter under which to file. Bankruptcy lawyers can also help end harassing phone calls from debt collectors and evaluate available legal options when facing a home foreclosure.

Automatic stay: An injunction that automatically stops lawsuits, foreclosures, garnishments, and most collection activity against the debtor the moment a bankruptcy petition is filed.

Unsecured claim: A debt for which credit was extended based solely upon the creditor's assessment of the debtor's future ability to pay, rather than on a special assurance of payment.
