About Matt

We help people struggling with debt. Bankruptcy is our PRIMARY business!

Hello! Thanks for visiting my profile here on AVVO. I was born and raised in Colorado and love all it has to offer, especially the people! I received my Juris Doctor Degree (law degree) from the Denver University College of Law in 2002. While in law school, I served on the DU Law Review. Since 2002, I have successfully prosecuted thousands of Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 Bankruptcy cases. I'm an active member of the National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys (NACBA), as well as a regular speaker and lecturer at Continuing Legal Education bankruptcy seminars, where I instruct and counsel other bankruptcy attorneys concerning complicated aspects of bankruptcy law. I'm admitted to practice law in the great State of Colorado and the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado. In 2010 I was selected as one of Law Week Colorado’s Attorneys of the Year.

My favorite part about being a bankruptcy attorney is that I get to help good people move past a difficult time in their lives. I believe that bad things can happen to good people and that sometimes, good people can make bad decisions. We all deserve a second chance and our bankruptcy laws are here to help you get that fresh financial start you are looking for.  

If you are also looking for a no BS lawyer, who will tell it to you straight and give you access to one of the best consumer bankruptcy lawyers in the state (all for a reasonable fee), I'm your guy. If you are looking for the bargain-basement lawyer and price is your only concern, I'm not the lawyer for you, but I wish you the best!

My fees are reasonable and fair. I move fast and get things done. I treat my clients with respect. Professionally, I'm awesome at this one thing.  I kick @ss when my clients need me to.  I follow the Golden Rule (Do to others, what you would have them do to you. Matthew 7:12).

I'd love to help you move past this bump in the road so you can get back to what matters most in your life. I'm a good lawyer and I represent good people.

Review Matt McCune

Excellent!

Posted by

Matt made a stressful situation seem manageable. He was very straight forward about the process and let us know what would happen during each stage of the bankruptcy. He even offered a little comic relief. I would highly recomend Matt.

Great attorney!

Lyndsey Mott, Real estate Attorney on May 2, 2019
Relationship: Co-worker

I endorse this lawyer. Matt is a specialized and careful attorney who is always lending himself as a source for questions, insight and strategic conversations. The best part about him though, is that in the wild, wild west of the legal world, he is still a good guy that is out to do the right thing. Who can say that anymore?

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

It is a great pleasure to recommend Matt McCune to anyone looking for a bankruptcy attorney. His dedication to his clients and understanding of the complexity of bankruptcy make him an excellent lawyer. Matt is professional and kind, working with those who need his help so desperately. He is an asset to the debtors' bar and I am proud to call him a friend.

Matt is a professional and knows the bankruptcy business. He's brilliant, skilled and has excellent customer service. He's someone who values human connections over business, and that is a rare find. I strongly recommend Matt!

William Arant, Personal injury Attorney on Aug 1, 2017

Andrew Trexler, Bankruptcy and debt Attorney on Mar 30, 2017
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

Matt's a good guy who cares about his clients. Happy to endorse this lawyer.

Zachary Westerfield, Commercial real estate Attorney on Jun 6, 2016
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

I have known Matt since we were in law school together and I cannot recommend him highly enough for consumer bankruptcy matters. Over the years, Matt has taken the time to teach me the ins and outs of practicing bankruptcy, and though I no longer practice in this area of the law, Matt remains the one person I trust implicitly and know that I can refer my clients to, which I do. If you have a consumer bankruptcy matter involving either a chapter 7 or chapter 13, Matt is the attorney you should call.

Andrew Sandomire, Personal injury Attorney on Mar 24, 2016
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

Matt is a great BK lawyer and resource. I have known him for many years, and I always trust his advice and feedback.

Michelle Kuennen, Bankruptcy and debt Attorney on May 15, 2015
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

I have known Matt since law school. I have tremendous respect for him both as fellow attorney, a trusted friend and adviser. I have attended bankruptcy seminars taught by Matt and I have consulted him many times for advice on my own cases. Matt is very knowledgeable about bankruptcy law, he is a hard worker and a powerful advocate for his clients. I would not hesitate to recommend him to a friend or family member, or to hire him myself if I needed an attorney.

William Morris, Bankruptcy and debt Attorney on May 14, 2015
