The team over here were great. My case was pretty complicated and I had been turned away by two other attorneys. Not only did these guys do a great job; they communicated clearly and thoroughly through the whole process.

Steve and Sean are relentless advocates who get the job done. My situation was unique, and at first, I wasn’t sure I had any options—but they guided me through every step with care and clarity. They crafted and submitted a comprehensive, realistic plan that I was able to complete, and my bankruptcy h...

Going through bankruptcy is one of the most stressful and overwhelming experiences anyone can face—but Anthony Camera, Berken Cloyes and Sean Cloyes were truly a ray of light in the storm. From the very beginning, their professionalism, kindness, and deep knowledge put us at ease. They walked us thro...
"Stephen is a great asset to the Colorado bankruptcy community. He recently participated in an effort among local bankruptcy attorneys urging one of our Judges to adopt a more forgiving approach regarding a serious technical issue that has been harming people in Chapter 13 bankruptcies. Here's what the judge said about this effort: ". . . the Court concludes that the additional information and legal argument advanced by the Bankruptcy Practitioners Group is well-developed and very useful to the Court notwithstanding some duplication. The Court commends the members of the Bankruptcy Practitioners Group for their time and effort as well as dedication to the development of bankruptcy law in this important area of Chapter 13 practice.""
"I have Steve Berken for over 30 years and he is my go to attorney for all personal bankruptcy referrals. He has provided my clients and friends with top notch legal services for many years on all sorts of various legal matters involving both bankruptcy issues and other related matters. I recommend him highly."
"I have known Stephen for almost 10 years. Steve has been a cornerstone of the bankruptcy attorney's foundation in this state. His work is impeccable. I highly recommend Mr. Berken."
"I cannot say enough about Steve -- he is a pillar in the Debtors' Counsel community and an authority on bankruptcy law. He and his law partner Sean Cloyes are expert litigators and their clients are in the best hands possible. He makes miracles happen against all odds and against everything 17th Street creditors' counsel can muster."
"I endorse this lawyer. He's the leader of the Colorado National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys. He sponsors and lectures other attorneys in legal education seminars. He runs a private chat room for senior colleagues where current bankruptcy law and practice is discussed. The highest compliment I can give him is that I've referred many Chapter 13 clients to him over the thirty-plus years I've known him. He's a 10 in my book."
"I endorse this lawyer. Worked on case with Steve for a mutual client and also have interacted with Steve on other legal matters involving bankruptcy and consumer protection issues over many years. Steve is top of the line. Steve is very knowledgeable in bankruptcy and consumer pro law. He is very professional, responsible and diligent in representing his clients."
"I endorse this lawyer. Steve Berken is the alpha dog of the consumer bankruptcy community in Denver. If you have a messy case and need a lawyer who is not afraid of a fight, Berken is your man."
