Auto dealership lawsuit

I purchased an automobile from a dealership and that vehicle suffered catastrophic failure shortly after. That dealership left me high and dry. Troy represented me and fought through an extensive long process of which he prevailed. He did above and beyond what I ever could have expected. Hours of wor...k, always in contact and informative throughout. A true professional, honest and kind of whom I would refer anyone to with a legal situation.

Don't let the big sign out front fool you.

Like some attorneys, Troy has a large sign posted outside of his business telling about bankruptcy and stop harassment now. However taking the time to meet with him and then see how compassionate and professional he is about helping the community, my husband and I knew we had our ace. Troy's knowle...dge and conviction to protect the consumer is spot on when you need his help the most. Do yourself and your family a favor when facing any legal actions of credit against you. He has all the answers!

Troy is TRULY ONE OF A KIND!

TROY IS ONE OF A KIND! AWESOME! I contacted Troy Krenning when a wrongful debt collector started calling me everyday with nothing but rude and harassing comments. TROY GAVE ME THE BEST ADVISE EVER! and the phone calls stopped immediately. Troy took charge and took care of things for me in a timely ...manner and GOT THE JOB DONE! Plus put money in my pocket! What attorney does that? I never knew an attorney to do such a thing as to put money in MY pocket. Troy treated me with kindness and respect ( which I did not get from my last attorney). Troy is truly a ONE OF A KIND! Thank you Troy for being the BEST! Diana

Outstanding! Troy Krenning is a champion!

I contacted Troy Krenning after repeated failed attempts to settle a wrongful debt collection in regards to an ambulance bill that was paid. I was bullied and harassed by the debt collection agency, despite being more than willing to work with them and the ambulance company. They filed suit against... me and refused to back down. I attempted to navigate the legal system myself and was completely lost. Finally, I called Gookin, Krenning, & Associates LLC. and Troy Krenning called me within a couple of hours. I met with Troy and was pleasantly surprised at how he put me at ease right away. I finally felt that I had someone on my side and what a relief that was! He is efficient, knowledgeable and truly cared that my rights were being violated. Not only did the suit against me get dismissed, but I received a $1000 settlement for violation of the Federal Fair Debt Collection laws. All of this took about 2 weeks. My only regret is that I did not contact him from the beginning!

A Consumer Advocate who knows Debt Collection Laws better than the Debt Collectors

For too long, debt collection agencies have used and abused the legal system in Colorado as just another way to force consumers to be bullied into providing windfall profits to companies that purchase written-off debt for pennies on the dollar. Knowing that more than 9 out of 10 lawsuits brought... by these junk debt buyers result in default judgments, they file suit with no or improper evidence, playing the odds that even a consumer challenging their suit will back down and settle rather than stick through to a trial, and they still end up with a tidy profit for little effort. I never intended to have financial problems, but I also have been unwilling to be taken advantage of when debt purchasers have tried to make me feel guilty when they demand to use me as their piggy bank. After doing my own research and filing my own responses in a couple of cases, it was an incredible relief to find Troy Krenning. This man clearly has gone to great lengths to understand and advocate for consumers and knows how to clarify the rules of law upon which our legal system is based. I had spoken to another attorney about my debt collection issues, but he seemed unclear of why my own research showing the plaintiff couldn't prove his case and suggested I should negotiate a settlement instead (if I could). I'd done far more reading on the matter and ended up trying to do my own work on the case, but got nervous as a trial date was coming up. In my first case since discovering Mr. Krenning, he took over my response and counter-claim mid-stream, became the counsel of record in my case, educated the opposing attorney about the law and violations of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, and turned their nearly $5,000 suit into a dismissal with prejudice within a few weeks. AND he’s been a pleasant guy to work with as well! From my research he is one of only a few Consumer Advocate attorneys in the state that truly understands how consumers are being taken advantage of and I’ll be quick to point out to potential clients that they’ll likely be awarded payment of attorney’s fees after Troy wins the case for them. It would be improper for me to discuss my own fee arrangement, but I’ll just assure you it’s likely worth your time to talk to him. The time to be a victim of the system stops here. He’s also preparing to take on a second case for me in which the junk debt buyer has “supported” their claim with “documentation” from another company with which I’ve had no business relationship. I have no doubt of the outcome and I actually look forward to working on it with him. Don’t worry about his office being located in Loveland and away from the metro area. He’s located nearly 100 miles from me and we’ve done all of our work together via phone and email. I was a little nervous about that at first, but no longer. I can’t write a more positive review!

"I endorse this lawyer. When I was a prosecutor, Mr. Kenning was one of the few defense attorneys able to increase my heart-rate when he entered on a case. Someone who hires Mr. Krenning is getting one of the best in the Fort Collins area. He is now one of the attorneys that I emulate now that I have opened my own practice. I strive to be as brilliant, knowledgeable, and personable an attorney as he is."
