Denver Bankruptcy Attorneys

Even though we have 20 years of experience and a proven track record, our fees are affordable and comparable to the “bait and switch” advertisers you see online — and are even lower in many cases.  Click HERE for more fee information.

We are often asked about advertised attorney fees for Chapter 7 in the $400 to $500 range which you may see on the internet.  The two most prominent attorneys advertising this fee NEVER OR RARELY actually charge this fee. Their advertisements say “no hidden fees.”  That’s because the actual higher fee is fully disclosed before you sign up with them.

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 attorney before you settle on the cheapest fee:

1. How many cases have you filed?  Do you only handle Chapter 7 bankruptcy cases or can you fully advise me of all my options?
2. 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?
3. How many cases have you taken to trial?
4. Are you available to fully address my questions and concerns or do you need to “get back to me?”
5. Will you help me or will I only be talking to your paralegal?
6. 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?
7. 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 attorneys 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.

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. Only an experienced Denver bankruptcy attorney can help you navigate through this critical junction in the bankruptcy process.

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 Denver bankruptcy attorney 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 of the motion to dismiss that had been filed.  Following a ful trial of all isues, a U.S. Bankruptcy judge 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 attorney 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 survive and are yours for life — never to be included in any subsequent bankruptcy.
