Bankruptcy

I was very nervous when making the final decision about filing for bankruptcy. After meeting Todd I no longer had any concerns. He was extremely knowledgable and informative. He also seemed to be available at a moments notice whenever I had questions whether that be email or over the phone. The ov...erall experience was exactly what I needed to move on into a better, brighter financial future. Thank you Todd for getting the job done and exceeding expectations!

Excellent counsel on legal options

I am very pleased with the counsel provided by Todd Stoneman and will use his services again in the future should the need arise. Repeat business and a referral are the highest compliment I can provide. Overall a very positive experience with an extremely positive outcome. My experience is base...d on a one hour consultation session. My objective was to seek legal counsel, understand my options and avoid expensive legal fees and court costs. Mission accomplished. After meeting with Todd and reviewing my options I was able to formulate a plan, broker a deal and resolve my issue without going to court. Thank You Todd. Now, if I had to go to court (and I hope I never do), I'd want Todd as my lawyer. What made this experience so good? During the initial phone conversation Todd was an active listener, asked questions and indicated he could assist me with my issue. We set up an appointment for an hour consultation to review my legal options. During the initial phone call Todd was very clear about what to expect during our meeting. He indicated that after our meeting I would have a clear understanding of the issue, understand my legal options and potential outcomes, and have a clear direction for my next step. During our consultation Todd did everything he said he would do and covered every point. He made sure all my questions were answered. Todd delivered. What I didn't expect, what surprised me, is how I felt empowered after leaving the consultation meeting. Todd provided me with the legal expertise I needed and encouraged me to take action that was in my best interest. Todd helped me take control of a situation where I felt overwhelmed, helpless, confused, and totally screwed. The information provided was valuable, to be sure. Unexpected and extremely important was the encouragement Todd provided - this really made a difference. I was able to achieve a most satisfactory outcome. Todd is a great lawyer. You can find a good lawyer, but the person you want working with you, representing you, defending you, championing your rights, is a great lawyer. What makes Todd a stand out lawyer, aside from his legal expertise, is that he is an active listener, compassionate and nonjudgmental. When asking probing questions, reviewing the facts and when demystifying the legal maze, Todd remains objective, encouraging and positive. He cares. You know he is on your side and there to help you. That's who I want helping me - someone who wants to empower me, assist me and encourages me to have the best possible legal outcome. Thank You Todd!

Posted by Diane | September 23, 2012 | Contracts & Agreements

Responsive, Professional, Honest, and Guiding

I sought out Todd’s services to assist me in interpreting an Agreement that I had signed. First of all, when I called to make an appointment Todd answered the phone, listened to my needs, and was able to fit me into his schedule the next day. He was willing to look at the agreement in advance of our ...appointment so that he would be prepared. During the appointment he was very informative, listened to my concerns, and answered all of my questions. He was able to communicate his interpretation of the Agreement and advise me as to my next step. He was upfront and honest with me and explored all the different directions of how the Agreement might play out. With just one appointment with Todd, I was able to feel more confident in the terms of the Agreement and the direction that I hoped it would go. I also feel comfortable enough to call on him again should I need further assistance with my case.

To Whom it May Concern:

Excellent, this is the only word I would use to discribe the proficence and conduct of Todd Stoneman. Through is hard work and dedication coupled with his outstanding professionalism, Todd was able to and did meet every need I had. I had a very unique case with lots of variables that made my sit...uation very complex. Even with a complex case, it did not have any effect on his superior knowledge of the plan of action to allow me to get the best results possible. Mr. Stoneman also had a very affordable retention fee and was also able to work out a very reasonable payment plan for his labor throughout our case. From our first conversation till now Mr. Stoneman displayed a great deal of integrity while still taking the time to get to know his cliants and looking out for the welfare as well as their family. In every step of the case Mr. Stoneman ensured that I was well informed and understood very action that took place. Once my case came to the hearing Mr. Stoneman persuaded the court that I deserved the absolute bare minimum punishment. I strongly recommend Todd Stoneman to anyone in any legal situaton . His effeicency yo set the ighest standard possible is above approach and deserving of the highest gradification possible.

outstanding professional service

Confident, knowledgable, trustworthy and communication that exceeded any expectation that one could expect. Explained all fact in detail as well as stated all senarios and what to expect in all possible outcomes. From the beginning the knowledge and expertise of law was well above that of the apposi...ng council causing the case to be solved before going to trial.

"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."

"If you are in need of a top notch litigant then you should trust Mr. Stoneman with your matter whether it is a bankruptcy matter, criminal defense matter, or landlord tenant matter, you can rest easy knowing that you will be in good hands and have thorough representation. As we are attorneys, we do not practice in every field of law and thus, we are faced with situations where we need to refer people to different attorneys and I would not hesitate to refer people to Mr. Stoneman."

"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!"

"Todd is insightful and very intelligent. In smaller legal communities such as Longmont, it's important to maintain the highest level of integrity; but Todd maintains a reputation in the Metro Area community at large of being a capable and compassionate lawyer. I continue to refer clients outside of my own practice areas to him and am always confident that he will represent them with undivided loyalty."
