Peace of mind

We had an excellent experience working with Todd. He handled legal matters for both my husband and me in a very timely manner and was professional throughout the entire process. He was knowledgeable, responsive, and made sure everything was explained clearly, which gave us great peace of mind. We tr...uly appreciated his dedication and efficiency and would highly recommend him to anyone in need of legal representation. Thank you again Todd for the peace of mind you brought us.

Fortunate to have the best bankruptcy lawyer in the area

If I could give Todd TEN stars, I would. Whether you are ready to file for bankruptcy or you are considering the possibility that bankruptcy may be your best option, I highly recommend scheduling a consultation with Todd as soon as possible. He immediately put us at ease and we knew within m...inutes we were making the right decision both to proceed with bankruptcy and to have Todd handle the case for us. Todd is extremely knowledgeable in bankruptcy as bankruptcy cases are the only thing he handles. He is compassionate and supportive with a sense of humor. We cannot thank Todd enough for guiding us through this process.

Outstanding and very compassionate

Todd is a very compassionate attorney. I went to him in an unfortunate financial bind, resulting in a bankruptcy. That is an extremely dehumanizing experience in one’s life. Right? To top it off, I have a disability making understanding information and direction very difficult for me. I was upfro...nt with Todd about my anxiety around bankruptcy in the first place, but I was completely transparent about my cognitive difficulties as well. Todd compassionately supportive in all corners even going as far to offer to come to my home to sign a few papers when I was so physically challenged. His empathy was so genuine. Todd treats you. As a human. A person. Not a case number. His knowledge of this process is unmatched. I felt very confident in my decision to work with him. I found him on Google of all things. Usually you hire an attorney by word of mouth. I googled instead, made the call and immediately secured my decision to hire him. Todd is a real person. Not intimidating. He’s extremely easy to work with. He sets you up for a successful process. I wouldn’t go looking feverishly for a bankruptcy attorney. Just trust me. He is an outstanding, respectful, relatable human who comes alongside you, not at you. If you’re reading this, it’s because you’re in a tough spot in your chapter of life. Don’t be scared. Be cared for with grace and empathy with Todd. Be well. Thank you, Todd. You mean the world to me as I opened and closed a difficult chapter.

Wow. You need to know how good your words make me feel. Incredible. Thank you, thank you, thank YOU! You are an outstanding human being, not only did you take the time to compose such a heartfelt testimonial here but sending me a thank you note via snail mail in an actual Hallmarky card left a huge impression. You ROCK. I am here for you, whatever you may need in the future. You can always reach out and I will do everything in my power to help you. Happy holidays, CC/CG ;) and a very healthy, happy new year! - Todd

RE Contracts

Todd Stoneman is not only an amazing attorney but he also treats you as if you’ve been a friend of his for a very longtime. I came to Todd because I needed help with an RE contract that I was stressing soooo much about and he made sure things were clear and all about the facts! I will refer him to al...l of my colleagues, friends and family.

Thank you, Maggie! SO glad you called me to help. I enjoy fighting the good fight and you are doing a great job in your career. Keep it up, things will only get better for you. Take care and please keep in touch. Go get 'em, Maggie! Todd

Posted by Christin | May 12, 2020 | Hired Attorney | Bankruptcy & Debt

Todd is a beautiful human being!

My husband and I were on the brink of financial peril, with a creditor wanting to take us to court for an old medical bill that had gone to collections in order to garnish his wages for repayment. I tried to reason with the creditor but their demands were insane. I called Todd with a lot of hesitat...ion in my head regarding whether bankruptcy would be a good choice for us. Todd called me back promptly and immediately was able to put me at ease about making an appointment. He is a family man, and when he heard my toddler in the background he said she was welcome in his office! When we were able to meet I was greeted with warmth and kindness, and talking to Todd was more like talking to a long lost friend than an attorney. He was able to guide my husband and I through each step of the process and helped us to realize the benefits in filing bankruptcy due to our particular situation. I am relieved to have the weight of the debt removed, and I would recommend Todd to anyone considering bankruptcy as a lawyer you can truly trust. Thank you for everything, Todd!

"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."

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."
