I love Chapter 7 bankruptcy! I will walk you through the process step-by-step.

DUI and DWI 20%

If you are totally innocent, then call someone else. If you might be a little guilty, then let's start you in classes to get you a good plea deal. Also, stop drinking (for now)!

Chapter 13 Bankruptcy 19%

Even if you think a Chapter 7 filing is best, make sure to discuss the Chapter 13 option for tax debt, to strip a second mortgage, or save your home. I need an absolute minimum of two weeks before your Colorado foreclosure sale date to help you stop a foreclosure.

Extraordinary knowledgeable and compassionate!

The best word I can use to describe Thomas Braham is extraordinary. After meeting him in a seminar he gave on bankruptcy at the Denver Bar Association, I knew he was the guy to guide me through and represent me in my bankruptcy. From our first meeting, he made complex issues simple and understand...able. Tom made himself available every step of the way and offered genuine compassion as I went through a difficult time. Whether it's Chapter 7, 13, DUI, DWI or other cases, Tom Braham is reasonable, thorough and easy to work with. If the best compliment a client can pay a professional is to refer friends and associates, I have been (and will continue to be) honored to repeatedly pay Tom this compliment

100% Passionate For His Clients

I had the privilege of meeting Thomas Braham at a bankruptcy workshop that he was conducting in downtown Denver. Right from the start I can tell that Thomas was very passionate about what he did for a living which was to help his clients get thru bankruptcy as pain free as possible. Filing for bank...ruptcy can be a very stressful experience. I had recently dealt with a major setback with my health, and in turn I was unable to keep up with my bills. I had lost my job, my apartment and I felt so hopeless and lost about what I was going to do next. I didn't know who to trust or lean on except my family. Lawyers can be intimidating, but when I saw Thomas talking to my mother after the workshop, I felt right at ease about him. I could tell right away that he meant what he said about his passion and desire to help others thru hard time. After speaking with him, I knew he was the lawyer I wanted to represent me. He shared about his experience as a bankruptcy lawyer, and his desire to help people get a fresh start, in an area of their lives that can otherwise make them feel disheartened, with nowhere to turn. He assured me that there was nothing to worry about, and that it was his job to get me through this tough time in my life with reassurance and peace. He did just that. His compassion for what I had gone thru, his go-to attitude, and his personal experiences and professional expertise made me realize that thousands of people like me go thru these kind of things and survive. I trusted him 100% with everything he told me, how the process worked and what to expect. There were no surprises, no bumps in the road and I went from being in debt beyond belief to a fresh beginning. Thomas Braham is someone I would recommend to anyone is looking for a lawyer that will stand by their side, that they can trust 100% that what he says and does is true, supports them thru their decision to file for bankruptcy, and leads them thru the process at their own pace so that they feel comfortable and as stress free as possible!

Great Bancruptcy attorney who actually listens!

I met with a few attorneys before choosing Thomas and in my mind Thomas was the most knowledgeable and took time to actually listen to me and put together a bankruptcy plan where I was actually able to keep my house! I would definitely recommend him www.brahamlaw.com

Easy to talk to

Tom is very easy to talk to, personable and not judgemental. I am sure he is more than capable of handling just about any bankruptcy he comes across. I would definately use him in the future and send my friends to him.
