If you know someone who has filed bankruptcy, ask them for a referral. Check the Colorado Supreme court website for any record of disciplinary action against the attorneys you are considering and also check at the Colorado Supreme Court website to find out whether your attorney has malpractice insurance. An attorney without insurance may indicate that said attorney is uninsurable due to malpractice claims. In the past several years the market has been saturated with new bankruptcy attorneys, these attorneys are great at marketing with slick google advertising and websites. Many of them advertise low fees (such as bankruptcy from $499), but rarely charge said low fee. Some of the bankruptcy mills that charge low fees have a paralegal do most of the bankruptcy documents. Find an attorney that will spend at least 3 hours with you (one on one) in preparing your case.
