Before
selecting a Denver bankruptcy
lawyer
consider whether you are speaking with a bankruptcy mill
-- that is, a law firm that files as many cases as it can as cheaply as possible. Questions to ask your Denver
bankruptcy lawyer before you settle on the cheapest
fee:
- How many cases have you filed? Do you only
handle
Chapter 7
bankruptcy cases or can you fully advise me of all my
options?
- Are you able to handle a challenge
to my Chapter 7 bankruptcy 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 some circumstances? How many
confirmed bankruptcy plans have you handled? What
do you do for me when the Chapter 13 trustee objects
to my bankruptcy plan?
- What have
prior clients said about you?
Competent Denver bankruptcy
lawyers will take the time to
answer these questions 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

experienced trial attorney guides your case to a
successful conclusion.

The Office of the US
Trustee is a large office of taxpayer funded federal
bureaucrats charged with administering and reviewing
every bankruptcy case filed. This government
agency justifies its existence, in part, by
demonstrating how many bankrupt families it can
prosecute for a violation of the bankruptcy laws -- with
the end goal of getting your case dismissed.
Statistically, the chances
of your case being the target of a dismissal motion are
quite small. Nevertheless, it does happen.
And unfortunately, it can happen without good cause and
without a sound legal basis.
Results count.
The Office of the United States Trustee has never
brought a successful 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.
Is your Denver bankruptcy lawyer going to shy away from
a fight, refer you elsewhere, or otherwise leave you
unable to defend yourself? If your discharge is
revoked, the debts included in your bankruptcy are
revived and are yours for life -- never to be included
in any subsequent bankruptcy.
