Services
Chapter 7 Bankruptcy
Chapter 7 bankruptcy provides debt relief through asset liquidation for qualifying individuals. This process eliminates unsecured debts while protecting essential assets through Colorado bankruptcy exemptions. Our attorneys guide clients through means testing requirements and ensure proper documentation to achieve debt discharge within 3-6 months.
Chapter 13 Bankruptcy
Chapter 13 offers debt restructuring through court-approved repayment plans. This option preserves non-exempt assets while allowing debtors to catch up on mortgage arrears or tax obligations over 3-5 years. Our team develops customized payment plans that meet court requirements while maintaining financial viability.
Debt Relief
Our comprehensive debt relief services address unsecured debts, wage garnishments, and creditor harassment. We implement legal strategies to stop collection actions while developing sustainable solutions for long-term financial stability. This includes negotiating with creditors and exploring alternatives to bankruptcy when appropriate.
Foreclosure Defense
We provide aggressive representation against foreclosure actions through bankruptcy filings and loan modification negotiations. Our approach combines immediate legal protection with long-term solutions to preserve home equity while addressing underlying financial challenges through Chapter 13 repayment plans.
Wage Garnishment
Our wage garnishment services stop unauthorized income seizures through legal interventions. We implement strategies to release existing garnishments while developing debt resolution plans that prevent future income disruptions through bankruptcy protections and creditor negotiations.

How can bankruptcy stop creditor harassment?
Filing for bankruptcy triggers an automatic stay that immediately halts collection calls, wage garnishments, and foreclosure actions by law.
Will I lose my home if I file bankruptcy?
Colorado bankruptcy exemptions protect primary residences up to specific equity limits. Chapter 13 allows mortgage arrearage repayment while keeping your home.
Can student loans be discharged in bankruptcy?
