His practice philosophy: Client service first. In this regard, the firm’s practice is managed electronically using the latest cutting-edge legal software solutions and global technologies that enable you to get answers to your questions fast. No long waits for a return phone call from your attorney. Email inquiries are responded to promptly — usually within a few minutes but always within one day. Technology enables prompt communication and client satisfaction even when your attorney is out of the office — “I was in court” or “I was on vacation” isn’t an excuse any more.
Results count. The Office of the United States Trustee has never successfully brought an objection to discharge or motion to dismiss against a client of William A. Morris, P.C. In a recent 2008 case, the Trustee moved to revoke the discharge of a single, impoverished, divorced woman. The Trustee’s actions were based on nonsense from her abusive ex-husband, but the staff attorney for the U.S. Trustee’s Office refused to back off. Following trial, the bankruptcy court entered judgment on behalf of the client and the firm prevailed. This client preserved her right to walk away from tens of thousands of dollars of debt. Before choosing one of many Denver bankruptcy lawyers consider whether you are speaking with a bankruptcy mill which files as many cases as it can as cheaply as possible, or whether you are dealing with a skilled legal professional. Questions to ask your Denver bankruptcy attorney before you settle on the cheapest fee:
- How many cases have you filed? Do you only handle Chapter 7 cases or can you fully advise me of all my options?
- Are you able to handle a challenge by the US Trustee? Have you ever actually taken a trustee objection to trial?
- How many cases have you taken to trial?
- Are you available to fully address my questions and concerns or do you need to “get back to me?”
- Will you help me or will I only be talking to your paralegal?
- I know there are benefits to filing Chapter 13 bankruptcy under certain circumstances. How many confirmed plans have you prosecuted?
- What have prior clients said about you?
Competent bankruptcy attorneys will take the time to answer questions like these and will not be offended. Denver bankruptcy practitioners with years of experience can identify potential minefields in your case and make what is a difficult decision for you flow smoothly and painlessly. You truly will sleep better when an experienced trial attorney guides your case to a successful conclusion.
