Expeditious and Understanding

We recently had the pleasure of working with Mr. Serafin and we are extremely thankful that we decided to hire him. When dealing with bankruptcy we had so many questions and wanted to be sure that we hired someone who was patient and knowledgeable. David was available throughout the whole process, re...ady to answer any questions and address any concerns we had. In addition to his gracious and experienced nature, David was expeditious. Every questions and concern was addressed promptly. We felt valued and like our case was of the utmost importance. I can not overstate the importance of this and what great peace of mind it brought to us. We knew throughout the entire handling of our case that we had hired the most capable and knowledgeable attorney. Extremely grateful for his service.

Affordable, Knowledgable, Responsive, and Attentive

I looked into countless bankruptcy attorneys online, called around, and made a list of top candidates that fell into my criteria which included experience, education, ratings, and price. I then set up appointments to meet these attorneys to get a feel for them as not to conclude and base my decision ...on first impressions and to give everyone a fair shot, but when I sat down with David I immediately felt comfortable and at ease, confident in his knowledge and his abilities, and didn’t feel like I needed to look any further than my first appointment, and so I hired him almost immediately, and wasn’t the least bit disappointed in my decision either. David was always there to take my phone calls and emails and lead me through from start to finish in what can be an intimidating process and with as little pain as possible and in no time at all. The AVVO rating is not a true reflection of David who has lots of excellent reviews here and on Google and is from my experience and apparently others an excellent bankruptcy attorney. I highly recommend David if you want everything to go off without a hitch and to be at ease as it does!

Highly Recommend David Serafin

David helped me get through my bankruptcy without making me feel worse about myself. He was extremely professional and easy to work with. Anytime I had questions he would promptly respond to my email. David explained every step of the process and was also very supportive when I had my court hearing.... You would not go wrong in having David as your attorney!!

"David 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've known David since 1995 when we met in college. We were classmates and became great friends. He is a very intelligent and hard working man. We were friends through college, then law school, and thereafter as we both entered our legal professions. We are both lawyers in different fields. I know him to be a great person with very strong ethics, strong work habits, and thorough legal knowledge. After knowing this man for two decades, I can recommend him without reservation."

"I have known Dave for over 15 years and can attest that he is an excellent bankruptcy attorney. Dave's LL.M. in tax law gives him an edge over most if not all other bankruptcy attorneys. Dave goes out of his way to protect the best interests of his clients and is an excellent negotiator and trial attorney. Dave also exudes the highest level of professionalism and ethics."
