Bankruptcy and Debt 50%

As an attorney at Skeen & Skeen, P.C., I handle all aspects of litigation arising in the course of bankruptcy. Our firm handles cases for debtors, creditors, and chapter 7 trustees from all over Colorado. I specialize in adversary proceedings and contested matters such as avoidance actions, relief from stay, recovery of property, and objections to discharge.

50%
Chapter 7 Bankruptcy 40%

My chapter 7 bankruptcy practice involves filing debtor cases, representing chapter 7 panel bankruptcy trustees, and creditor litigation.

40%
Chapter 11 Bankruptcy 10%

My Chapter 11 practice focuses on creditor representation, for example, seeking relief from stay to proceed with foreclosure, objecting to plan confirmation, and seeking the appointment of an independent bankruptcy trustee.

Would recommend to anyone in need!

Matthew Skeen did a phenomenal job representing my husband and I. He was respectful, answered all of our questions in a timely manner, never made us feel dumb, gave great advice and represented us as our attorney in the most respectful manner. I’d recommend Matthew to any of my friends and family wit...hin a heartbeat. If you’re looking for an attorney that is professional, knowledgeable, and understanding Matthew is your go to.

A lawyer that will not be bullied and Fight for you!

I was forced to declare Bankrupsy mostly because of business debt. Matt thoroughly explained to me what that meant and was clear my life would not be over. There was a debtor that wanted one of my loans to be non dismissive $150,000 and Matt made it Hell for them and defended me, backed me up and e...xplained my side. After a 6 month fight he made them back off and it was dismissed. I will forever be great full.

Easy Breezy!

Bankruptcy is a horrible experience, but Matt helped a lot. He didn't make feel bad about my situation, just gave me helpful advice and encouragement. I live in the mountains so we did everything by phone which could have be a pain, but it wasn't at all. He is very laid back, but at the same time eff...icient, the perfect bankruptcy lawyer. I would recommend him, but I hope I will never need him again.

Best Lawyer and LawFirm

Matthew Skeen Jr. is the best Attorney! I've never worked with another Attorney and I don't think I ever will unless it's Matthew . Right for the start he was kind but tough enough to get the job done . My Father passed away and it was a tough process trying to figure out everything by myself, especi...ally because I lived in a different state. But Mathew Jr. not only helped to alleviate a lot of the stress . But he was relentless in getting everything taken care of for us over the phone and through email . He handled all the what would have been overly stressful probate, bank and estate assets. If this is your first time using a lawyer who is honest and gets the job done or even your fifth time . I would go with him . I left the same review Yelp . Really can’t say thanks enough !

A+

Matthew Keen was 100% the best in communication and effort. He went above and beyond to make this tough decision/process one that didn't add any unnecessary stress. He ALWAYS communicated timely and was open and honest. I have had other lawyers, but he was BY FAR the best in all areas you would ho...pe for: communication, follow up, and security in the process.
