Colorado's #1Bankruptcy Attorney!!

I was in a desperate need to find a Bankruptcy Attorney very quickly and on a Friday at that. At 5:00 p.m. Friday night, I found Mr. Stoneman from the Avvo website. I called his office expecting to leave a voicemail as I had already left 3 voicemails with other prospective attorneys. Mr. Stoneman ...answered the phone. I was amazed! I immediately felt very comfortable and at ease speaking with him. After speaking with a different attorney a few weeks' prior who never returned a follow up call and left me feeling that I was not a candidate for bankruptcy, Mr. Stoneman assured me after gathering the details, that most definitely I was a candidate and most likely for Chapter 7. Mr. Stoneman was in constant contact with me and led us through the process step by step. Mr. Stoneman is a very honorable, warm and extremely knowledgeable attorney who will only have your best interests at heart. Bankruptcy needs to be handled with a very knowledgeable and dedicated attorney and Mr. Stoneman will do all the figuring required to make a bankruptcy possible if it truly is within the realm of possibility. Don't make the mistake of going to the wrong attorney. If you are in dire straits and bankruptcy is your only way out, please call him. You will have a new life after it is all over. If I had not continued to research for an attorney that was knowledgeable and only had my best interest at heart I would still have the feeling that the world is resting on my shoulders and it's never going to go away. Please don't delay if you are thinking your only option is bankruptcy. Call Mr. Stoneman today. Colorado's #1 Bankruptcy Attorney!!

Thank you so much, Laurie, for the lovely sentiments. I am relieved to hear that you and Eddie no longer feel as if you are shouldering the world. It's onward and upward from here ... all the best to you, Eddie, and the alpacas! ;)

Respectful, Knowledgeable and Compassionate

My review title very much sums up the experience I had with working with Todd during my recent bankruptcy process. This was a difficult decision for me to make, and I appreciated Todd's kind, thoughtful, and nonjudgemental approach to working with me. My case was tricky in that my salary was borderli...ne in terms of whether I could file for a Chapter 7 or a Chapter 13. My preference was to start fresh and go with the CH 7. For a minimal extra fee, Todd wrote a most convincing letter to the courts, and I was granted the CH 7 Bankruptcy. This allows me to move forward in my life free of debt and with a renewed commitment to manage my finances with a new level of consciousness. I personally could not have attempted this process without someone like Todd by my side. His understanding, respectful and kind personality (AND his great sense of humor) helped me go through this process in a way that I ended it feeling empowered vs. defeated. I could not be happier with Todd and his professionalism. I most highly recommend him to others facing this difficult dilemma. Thank you, Todd!!

Awww Portia, thank you so much for your kind words. You are too sweet. I am pleased to have helped you achieve a fresh start. But even more so, I feel very fortunate to have met you. It's reassuring to know that people like you are out there in front of educating our next generation. Thanks, Portia and all the best going forward.

Like an old friend

I knew when I first saw Todd;s picture when I googled bankruptcy lawyers that he appeared to be someone to ask for help. My wife and I went to Todd for Chapter 7 and we were feeling pretty low. Todd was a breath of fresh air and gave us hope that perhaps we could get out from under this crushing fe...eling of debt. Todd was amazing and offered us advice from the first consultation until the hearing of the creditors. He also did all the work except for us going to court. He answers emails seven days a week at all hours and made us feel less anxious as the process moved forward. Todd is very compassionate and is a regular down home kind of guy who we could really identify with. I would recommend Todd in a heartbeat and I would never hesitate to consult in him if I ever need his help again.

"Todd Stoneman is the most authentic attorney I know in Colorado. He has mastered the art form of deconstructing difficult legal problems while always making the client's needs a priority. Todd's unique personal and professional experiences prior to becoming an attorney bring vitality to an otherwise bland industry. I often refer to Todd individuals who have legal issues with bankruptcy and criminal defense in the Denver and Boulder metro areas."

I am happy to endorse Mr. Stoneman, he is an asset to the profession."

"I endorse Todd in all possible areas - not just criminal defense. If I needed to hire an attorney, I'd have no hesitation hiring him, and I can't imagine choosing to be partners with any other attorney. Todd is brilliantly smart, ethical, and enjoyable to work with. If you're looking for a personable attorney who will do everything in his power to get the best possible outcome for you - including brainstorming solutions beyond the "norm" - Todd should be your first choice. If you want a stuffy, stereotypical attorney, look elsewhere!"
