Services
Chapter 7 Bankruptcy
Chapter 7 Bankruptcy eliminates qualifying debts through asset liquidation. This service helps individuals and businesses with income below Colorado's median qualify for debt discharge. Our team analyzes asset exemptions to protect client property while resolving unsecured debts like credit cards and medical bills.
Chapter 13 Bankruptcy
Chapter 13 Bankruptcy establishes court-approved repayment plans for debtors with regular income. We create customized payment schedules over 3-5 years to manage mortgage arrears, tax debts, and other obligations while retaining valuable assets.
Small Business Bankruptcy
Small Business Bankruptcy addresses commercial debt challenges under Subchapter V. We help entrepreneurs restructure business debts while navigating personal liability concerns and maintaining operational continuity during financial restructuring.
Debt Settlement
Debt Settlement resolves financial obligations through negotiated settlements with creditors. This alternative to bankruptcy reduces total debt amounts owed while avoiding court filings, particularly for clients with irregular income.
Estate Planning
Estate Planning secures client assets through wills, trusts, and advanced directives. We create comprehensive plans to manage property distribution, healthcare decisions, and financial affairs across changing life circumstances.
