Stephen Edward Berken

Stephen helped us through one of the hardest times in our lives. Our bankruptcy was personal and it was emotional. Stephen put us at ease with his jokes and his beautiful Great Dane. He was extremely knowledgeable and aggressive with our case when he needed to be. It felt like he took it personally w...hen a creditor called me after the filing and was horrible to me. This law firm is top notch and I couldn't have asked for a better firm to represent us. I HIGHLY recommend them.

My life really turned around for the better, after personally meeting with Steve. Because I was going through the worst time of my life, and he and his people really helped me out. These people are the real deal! I was a professional OTR truck driver, and could haul anything doubles, triples, hazmat,... everything. Got into a bad accident, not my fault, ended my career because I couldn't work anymore and the bills just kept piling up. Then I was told about Steve Berken who saved my home, my truck, and my belongings. And got all of those blood-sucking bill collectors off my back. Steve and his staff helped me start A new life over again, all because Steve and his people are truly experts in their field. I would never tell people to go this way alone, especially when Steve and his partners are so knowledgeable and know all of the ins and outs of bankruptcy.

I hired Mr. Berken a year ago to handle my bankruptcy and I am finally getting around to writing about my experience. Before I hired Mr. Berken, I visited two other attorney's in the Denver area who advertised alot on television. I met with a paralegal at the first office. After asking me a series... of questions she handed me a fee agreement to sign and wanted a retainer before I left. I told her I wanted to think about it because it was a big decision for me and then she seemed to get angry that I wasted her time even though I was told on the phone that they offered a free consultation. At the second law firm; the person I met with was really nice, but I got this impression given the number of clients in the waiting room that it felt like being at the DMV, there were so many people there wasn't a place to sit. I passed on them. I made an appointment with Mr. Berken after a friend read about him in the paper. He was the lawyer for Tom Martino who was going through a high profile bankruptcy so I figured what the heck. My free consultation was with Mr. Berken and not with a paralegal like the other firms. Although he was interrupted frequently I didn't mind listening to him on the phone talk to a car lender. I was blown away how he handled the person on the phone. We creditors were calling me; they were the mean ones; I just learned who lenders are afraid of...Mr Berken!!! I hired him that day. There is a ton of paperwork to fill out and his office was a huge help explaining stuff to me. I knew I was going to lose my home since I was so behind on my payments, but I didn't realize I had an option to keep it. Mr. Berken went through the numbers with me and explained my options; it just didn't make sense as much as I wanted to try an keep my house to keep it. At the creditors meeting Mr. Berken explained what the trustee was going to ask and prepared me for what happens. During the wait, it seemed like every attorney in the courthouse stopped to talk with him about cases. I realized then I must have hired the best lawyer in the business if other lawyers are coming to him with questions. I'm back on my financial feet thanks to Mr. Berken. He got rid of all of my medical bills and credit card debt; I no longer hide my car from the repo man and his office helped me start establishing my credit again. I can't thank him and his office enough for all of their help and support; it was a scary process to go through.
