About Matt

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.

Matt has done a great job!

Posted by

I hired Matt as my bankruptcy attorney over 5 years ago. The first couple of years we didn't correspond much. However, the last couple of years he has given me advise, always answered my questions, and we've had several phone calls, when email just doesn't get it done. He really has been great. He doesn't beat around the bush, he gives it to you straight and he knows what he's doing. He was very pro-active in getting my paperwork done for my discharge. I hope I never have to hire him again, but if a bad situation would ever arise again, he's the guy I would call. I would highly recommend him.

Highly proficient and knowledgeable

Posted by

After meeting with several attorneys before filing, we happily decided to go with Matt. He is a very down to earth and doesn't beat around the bush. He is extremely knowledgeable and always willing to go the extra mile. Though I wouldn't want to impose on his weekends, even if you text him with a question at 7am on a Saturday, he will happily answer. Very easy to talk to and extremely understanding to our situation. This is a difficult time in our lives and I know we made the right choice.

Matt is more than excellent!

Posted by

Matt has helped me with two bankruptcies. My first one was due to crushing medical debt when I was very young. He got it taken care of for me and walked me through all of the steps. The second one was with my husband and he was there 100% with us as well. We got our bankruptcy discharged last year and he was totally on top of everything, getting us our discharge papers. He charges a very fair rate and his services extend far beyond the case. I highly recommend Matt. He's great to work with, honest, and knows all of the ins and outs to give you the best advice for your particular situation.

Great help with EMATHY

Posted by

Matt guided me through chapter thirteen with efficiency and empathy. Bankruptcy with a large debt can put you in a dark place. I needed some one who would help me understand the direction I should go. Matt McCune was with me the whole way, making sure I understood each step and why it was best for my situation.

Great Bankruptcy Attorney

Posted by

Matt helped us through our Chapter 13 Bankruptcy. He was knowledgeable, clear in his explanations, and easy to get ahold of throughout the process. We never felt judged because of our situation, rather Matt made us feel at ease and supported. He was able to negotiate a settlement payment that we were very happy with. It took just under 3 years to pay off our settlement and receive our discharge papers. We are extremely happy to be moving forward and getting back on track with our financial health. I would definitely recommend Matt if you are in need of a bankruptcy attorney.

Zachary Westerfield, Bankruptcy and debt 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, Bankruptcy and debt 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.

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.
