Chapter 7 bankruptcy cases are best suited to households with low to moderate income, those who don't have more than $10,000 of equity in a vehicle or about $100,000 of equity in a home, or those who owe more in business debts than in personal ones.

Debby is a great asset to the Colorado bankruptcy community. She 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 endorse Ms. Bowinski as an attorney and do refer clients to her for bankruptcy and debt needs. We have encountered each other through Avvo and have "agreed to disagree" on many issues. However, I have been impressed with her experience and with her tenacity as an attorney. She is willing to stand up for herself and for her clients and take on anyone. That is precisely what you want in an attorney. I learn a great deal from her Avvod answers every day.
