Choosing a Lawyer

What makes us different?
Why is Morris Law Firm different than other Denver Bankruptcy Attorneys?

Experience.  You can choose a bankruptcy attorney with little trial experience who was recently licensed during this millennium.  Or you can trust your legal affairs to Morris Law Firm, P.C. with 15 years experience not just in bankruptcy but also as a TRIAL ATTORNEY prepared to litigate any creditor challenges to your case.

Fair Fees. expert advice, and exceptional client service is what keeps our practice thriving on referrals from past satisfied clients.

Did you know?  We are available to answer your questions not only during business hours.  When you retain us as your attorneys, you can communicate with us via electronic mail and, under most circumstances, receive answers to your questions after hours on evenings and on weekends.

Client compassion.  By far, the most common comment we receive from clients is a statement similar to this:  "Thank you for being so understanding and helping me.  You didn't make me feel like a deadbeat or feel embarrassed like another attorney I talked to."

 

 

 

Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

STOP GARNISHMENTS.  ELIMINATE MOST DEBTS ENTIRELY.  REMOVE JUDICIAL LIENS FROM YOUR HOME IN MOST CASES.  ELIMINATE SOME BACK TAXES.  WIPE AWAY BUSINESS DEBTS.  KEEP ALL YOUR PROPERTY IN MOST CASES.

A Chapter 7 bankruptcy is the quickest bankruptcy available, enabling you to walk away from most debts.  Most people are still able to file Chapter 7, even after bankruptcy "reform." However, a stringent formula is now applied to your financial means to determine whether you qualify to file Chapter 7.  Your expenses are strictly scrutinized and compared to your income in order to determine how much you could afford to repay your creditors.

Chapter 7 bankruptcy is referred to as a "liquidation" but this is misleading.  Ordinarily, you lose no property because the usual property owned by most people is exempt.  The most common exemptions are as follows:

  • $60,000 worth of equity in your home (or in reality, a little more than $60,000 worth of equity when the hypothetical costs of sale are calculated)  If you are elderly or disabled, the limit is $90,000.
  • $5,000 per motor vehicle for each debtor ($10,000 per debtor if elderly or disabled)
  • 100% of the money held in an ERISA-qualified retirement account (for example, your 401(k) or IRA account)
  • $3,000 worth of household goods per debtor (value is calculated at replacement value for like-kind goods; in other words, what would it cost to purchase a 10 year old washer today?)
  • Many other exemptions specific to your situation are available.

Credit counseling is now required before you file bankruptcy, under most circumstances.  A certificate that you have obtained credit counseling is required to be filed with the court.  Credit counseling takes about an hour or two and can be done on the internet or on the telephone.    Click here for a list of approved credit counseling providers.

"I cannot thank you enough for all of the work you performed on my recent Chapter 7 bankruptcy case.  My case had implications in two states, extenuating and unusual expenses to be claimed, and required you and I to challenge the existing bankruptcy law in Colorado and set precedent for how future cases with my circumstances would be handled.
 
After seeking consultations from two other law firms in downtown Denver and getting the distinct impression that they were "bankruptcy mills," and would not give my case the special consideration it would require, I saw the claim of individual attention and fair fees on your website and sought out your services.  From the initial consultation through the eventual discharge of debts, you and your staff were exceptionally professional and accommodating.
 
I prefer to work and communicate through e-mail or other electronic means and your proficiency in this area was equally as impressive.  You and your staff responded promptly to every communication sent and kept me apprised of case developments in a very prompt manner via e-mail.
 
I will unequivocally recommend your services in the future and, should you ever require a client reference, please feel free to pass along my contact information."   -- T.L., Littleton, Colorado
