| | Our law firm provides legal representation to debtors and creditors in
the bankruptcy courts of the states of Wyoming and Colorado. Occasionally
this representation requires appearances in various state courts, but scheduling
conflicts require this be minimized.
Our clients phone calls are promptly handled or returned. To maintain this availability, calls to the attorney are screened and
clients are assisted by staff whenever practical without the direct practice of
law.
Potential new clients are offered an initial interview completely without
charge or obligation, unless they choose to retain the firm's services. An exact fee for most services can be determined at
this meeting. In order for the initial interview to be productive, we ask prospective
clients to bring lists of assets, creditors, and answers to questions that give rise
to possible bankruptcy issues. This makes it possible to focus the meeting
on a client's actual concerns and not insolvency in general. This same
information is what is required if a bankruptcy petition is to be prepared.
Not all of our clients file bankruptcy but most know about it before our representation ends. To obtain a set of our worksheets

- Chapter 7
-

-

- Chapter 13
-
This is the form of relief that is favored by Congress.
By definition Chapter 13 must provide claimants at least what they would
receive if a Chapter 7 were filed. Debtors must be individuals
or husbands and wives with regular income. Relief comes only after
making payments, usually monthly for 36 months. Most of our clients
are able, however, to plan away a potential chapter 7 estate and choose to avoid
the burden of monthly payments. In our practice area chapter 13's
total less than 10% of the cases filed.
There are good reasons to use chapter 13. For
instance, chapter 13 makes possible catching up delinquent house or car payments over
time rather than all at once as is sometimes demanded by a creditor. This
will stop foreclosures and repossessions. Chapter 13 also has a broader
discharge. It will discharge claims that a Chapter 7 will not. One
of C13's more useful benefits and powerful tools is the ability to pay a secured
creditor the value of its collateral in lieu of the amount owed on all but car
loans less than 910 days old. For more

- Chapter 11
-
In our service district only a few attorneys will undertake Chapter 11 representation. The cases are intricate, expensive,
difficult to get paid to do, and last for months if not years.
Our firm prides itself for its chapter 11 work. We not only file
them. We get the cases confirmed and put a plan into
effect. You are interested in Chapter 11 if you have a
struggling business, a substantial amount of property, or a
corporation or partnership unable to withstand creditor
pressure. For more information about chapter 11 click here C11.
