Bankruptcy Overview

Denver Bankruptcy Attorney

Are you so deep in credit card and other unsecured debt that you have no idea how you will work your way out? Many Colorado citizens are in the same situation. At the law office of John C. Stewart, Attorney at Law, in Denver, Colorado, we have been practicing bankruptcy and debtor and creditor law for more than 20 years. We serve clients throughout Denver County, Adams County, Douglas County, Jefferson County, Arapahoe County, Boulder County, Weld County, Elbert County, and the Denver Tech Center, and we have helped thousands of individuals, business owners, farmers, and families explore their debt relief options, including filing for bankruptcy.

We always remind our clients that bankruptcy protection wasn’t invented to take unfair advantage of creditors, but rather to give people a fresh start when circumstances beyond their control results in overwhelming debt. The Bankruptcy Code recognizes that throwing someone in debtor’s prison does not benefit debtors or creditors.

We help our clients when their debts become overwhelming, in circumstances such as:

• Unemployment: Many Coloradans are one paycheck away from financial disaster. If you lost your job and have been out of work for a while, talk to our bankruptcy lawyer about Chapter 7 bankruptcy and your other legal options for debt relief.
• Medical emergency: A car accident or the onset of chronic illness can set people back financially for months or years. If you are facing debt problems due to medical expense, discuss your alternatives, including filing for bankruptcy, with our creditor and debtor law attorney.
• Long-term disability: Often long-term disability starts out with major medical expenses and grows into the need for long-term care, eating up any savings or health insurance your family may have.
• Financial betrayals: If you have been cheated by a business associate or someone you thought was a friend, you would probably be surprised to learn that many Colorado residents have lost all they had for the same reason. Call our office to schedule a meeting to discuss how to proceed and your options for protection under the Bankruptcy Code, including Chapter 11 business bankruptcy or Chapter 12 bankruptcy for family farmers' debts.
• Taking a risk: Our society values risk-taking and rewards individuals and businesses for taking risks. However, many new ideas fail before they get off the ground. Did you know that Walt Disney took risks that failed? He was forced into bankruptcy prior to his huge success. If you have taken a risk that didn't work out, let us help you get a fresh start so you can put wings on your innovations.

At the law office of John C. Stewart, Attorney at Law, we stay in touch with many of our clients. For nearly all of them, we learn that their fresh start helped them get back on their feet and restart productive careers and businesses. Few have needed to file for bankruptcy again. If you are facing the prospect of filing for bankruptcy, trust our firm to help you through your time of trouble. Contact our Denver bankruptcy attorney for a thorough review of your financial situation. We will help you decide whether Chapter 7 bankruptcy, Chapter 11 bankruptcy, Chapter 12 bankruptcy, Chapter 13 bankruptcy, or other alternatives are in your best interest.
