Virtual Consultation Available
I’ve spent the past 24 years representing consumers in bankruptcy, and I can’t imagine doing anything else! It creates such a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction in my professional life.
Having filed bankruptcy myself after uninsured medical treatment and credit card bills overwhelmed my young family, I understand the pain financial difficulties bring.
After seeing the struggles my clients were experiencing with student loan debt, I expanded my practice to provide solutions for the crippling debt from federal and private student loans.
I seek to relieve the guilt, shame, and self-doubt that threaten to overwhelm my clients. By guiding them through the available options and staying with them at every step of the process, I help eliminate the stress and worry that can drown my clients.
My goal is to make your experience as easy as possible and create a firm foundation for you to begin with a fresh start!

New Beginning-
Tara Salinas and her team are amazing! We met with Tara in April to discuss filing for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy; she listened to what we had to say; there was no judgment, just understanding and empathy; she was very procedural; told us what we needed to do every step of the way; followed up if anything ...

Hire this woman! She was awesome!
I am 100% pleased with Tara Salinas and her paralegal Peggy. They stood by me every step of the way in Chapter 7.

Tara is a Life Saver
After receiving some very bad legal advice, we found Tara as a referral from a contact in the Colorado District Attorney's Office. She accepted our case, knowing it was extremely complicated. It was even more chaotic given the mistakes and inaccuracies of the work of our previous attorney. Tara imme...
It has been my pleasure to work with you on your case. Thank you for your kind words!!
"Tara is simply the finest Chapter 13 bankruptcy lawyer in Colorado. Her knowledge of the Bankruptcy Code and local rules is unsurpassed among the practitioners in this state. She constantly reviews and researches developments in the law and is a frequent speaker at CLEs. As a member of the local rules committee further allows her to stay up to date on updates the court is contemplating. If that weren't enough, Tara is also a fine advocate for her clients who are going through an especially difficult time. Her empathy and compassion are hallmarks of her practice and should be emulated by others in the bankruptcy field. Moreover, she is willing to fight tooth and nail on behalf of her clients to make sure they emerge from the bankruptcy process as whole as possible. I endorse Tara wholeheartedly."
"I endorse this lawyer. Tara is one of the finest bankruptcy attorneys in Colorado and a leader in the bankruptcy legal community."
"Tara is a great asset to the Colorado bankruptcy community. She recently spearheaded 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.""
"Tara is an excellent lawyer - intelligent, caring, and a bulldog for her clients. I've been privileged to know and learn from her for several years, and wholeheartedly endorse her!"
"Ms. Gaschler is a leader in the bankruptcy community and is passionate about serving her clients by producing excellent work product. I would highly recommend to her anyone looking for bankruptcy help."
"I endorse this lawyer. I can endorse Tara without reservation for bankruptcy matters. She is diligent, honest and extremely, extremely knowledgeable. Great Lawyer."
"I am happy to be the first to endorse Tara Gaschler. She is a very knowledgeable bankruptcy attorney who takes great care in her work and obtains the absolute best results for her clients. She is active well respected in the Denver community of bankruptcy practitioners. She is a teacher and a mentor and is truly an expert in the field of consumer bankruptcy."
