The Law Offices of Ken McCartney P.C.

• ABI Web Site

The American Bankruptcy Institute is a private organization whose members, attorneys and judges for the most part, are active in all aspects of bankruptcy.  The ABI Web Site contains current news, copies of pending legislation, recent legislation, schedules of upcoming seminars, and membership information.  It is a must for the bankruptcy practitioner.

• Colorado Statutes

The statutes of the State of Colorado are available by index, and with fairly good search engines, free of charge.  Since state law determines exempt property in bankruptcy cases, you may wish to log on and and go to the statute number  to view the exact language of the current exemptions. Colorado's exemptions are described on our web page for that purpose. COLO

• Wyoming Statutes

Similar to Colorado, this state site is free and has the latest revisions in the state laws.  The bulk of Wyoming's exemptions are described  on our page for that purpose and can be tracked in the state law. WYO

• Colorado Bankruptcy Court Clerk's Office

When a Bankruptcy case is filed, written notices go to interested parties, but the bulk of the filing is not served.  It is, however, on file at the clerk's office where it is open to the public.  Just recently the court clerk's records have become accessible over the Internet.

• Wyoming Bankruptcy Court Clerk's Office.

Wyoming is a little ahead of Colorado here.  Most cases since 1997, including adversary proceedings, are available online and accessible with decent search engines.

• Court Cases

Unlike the paid services, which provide keynote and annotation resources, there are many sites that make it possible to access case law and statutes free of charge.  Here are a few:

• 10th Circuit Opinions
• United States Code (check out Title 11)
• U.S. Supreme Court

• Federal Judiciary Homepage

• Wyoming Supreme Court Opinions 

• Other Services

Here are some services useful to the practice of law.        

• Home appraisals
• Vehicle appraisals
• More vehicle appraisals
• Still More vehicle appraisals
• A wealth of information
• Consumer Credit Counseling Service of Northern Colorado and Southeast Wyoming
• Federal Trade Commission  A good place to look for information about credit reporting and permissible collection action.
• Here is a neat one I stumbled on at the Wyoming Legislative Services Office.  It is several links that attorneys might be interested in.  Has every state's statutes and much more.
